PRODUCTS WHICH MAY BE USED AND THEIR CHARACTERISTICS
Use
In case of use of non original SAE 10W-40 products, lubricants complying with ACEA A3 minimal performances required are acceptable. Using prod-
ucts with characteristics not even meeting ACEA A3 technical specifications for gasoline engines may cause serious damages to the engine, which are
not covered by warranty.
For very cold climate conditions, ask Fiat Dealership for the appropriate Selenia product to use.
