DEALER SERVICE
The following pages contain instructions on
the required maintenance from the technical
personnel who designed the vehicle.
In addition to these specific maintenance
instructions specified for routine scheduled
servicing, there are other components which
may require periodic maintenance or replace
-
ment over the vehicle’s life cycle.
Engine Oil
Engine Oil Level Check
To ensure correct engine lubrication, the oil
must always be kept at the prescribed level
(see “Engine Compartment” in this chapter).
Check the oil level at regular intervals, for
example every 1,864 miles (3,000 km).
It must be checked about five minutes after
stopping the engine.
Full operating temperature must be reached.
The vehicle must also be parked on as level a
surface as possible.
The engine oil level can be checked using the
Information and Entertainment system. To
access the function, activate the main menu
(MENU button) and select the following
options in sequence:
1. “Applications”
2. “My Car”
3. “Oil level”
Ensure that the oil level is within the interval
on the dipstick between the minimum and
maximum limits (Quadrifoglio only).
Changing The Engine Oil
See the “Maintenance Plan” for the correct
servicing intervals.
Choice Of Engine Oil Type
To ensure optimal performance and maximum
protection in all operating conditions, it is
advised to use certified engine oils. Refer to
“Fluid And Lubricants” in “Technical Specifica
-
tions” for further information.
Additives For Engine Oil
It is strongly recommended not to use addi
-
tives (other than leak detection dyes) with the
engine oil.
The engine oil is a product designed specially
for the vehicle and its performance may be
deteriorated through the use of further addi
-
tives.
Disposal Of Used Engine Oil And Filters
For the disposal of the engine oil and filters,
contact the appropriate body to determine
local regulations.
NOTE:
Used engine oil disposed of incorrectly may
seriously harm the environment.
Engine Oil Filter
Replacing the Engine Oil Filter
The engine oil filter must be replaced each
time the engine oil is changed. It is advised to
replace it with a genuine spare part, specifi
-
cally designed for this vehicle.
