Checking engine oil
Check the oil level a few minutes (about
5) after the engine has stopped, with the
car parked on level ground.
Remove the dipstick Aand clean it, put
it back in completely, remove it and check
that the level is within the MINand MAX
marks on the dipstick. The interval be-
tween the MINand MAXmarks corre-
sponds to about one litre of oil.

Topping up engine oil
If the oil level is near or even below the
MINmark, add oil through the filler neck
B, until reaching the MAXmark.
Oil level shall never exceed the MAX
mark.
IMPORTANT If a routine check reveals
that the oil level is above the MAXmark,
contact Fiat Dealership to have the cor-
rect level restored.
IMPORTANT After adding or changing
the oil, let the engine turn over for a few
seconds and wait a few minutes after turn-
ing it off before you check the level.

Engine oil consumption
Max engine oil consumption is usually 400
grams every 1000 km.
When the car is new, the engine needs
to run in, therefore the engine oil con-
sumption can only be considered stabilised
after the first 5000 - 6000 km.
IMPORTANT The oil consumption de-
pends on driving style and the conditions
under which the car is used.
IMPORTANT Do not add oil with speci-
fications other than that already in the en-
gine.

MAINTENANCE
When the engine is hot, take
care when working inside the
engine compartment to avoid burns.
Remember that when the engine is
hot, the fan may cut in: danger of in-
jury. Scarves, ties and other loose
clothing might be pulled by moving
parts.
WARNING
Used engine oil and filter con-
tain harmful substances for
the environment. Contact Fi-
at Dealership to have the oil
and filter changed.
ENGINE COOLANT FLUID
fig. 9-10
The coolant level shall be checked with
cold engine and shall not be lower than
the MINmark on the reservoir.
If the level is low, pour slowly a mixture
of 50% distilled water and 50%
PARAFLU
UPof the FL Seleniathrough
the filler neck A.
A 50-50 mixture of PARAFLU
UPand dis-
tilled water gives freeze protection to
–35°C.
For particularly hard climate conditions, we
recommend use of a 60% PARAFLU
UP
and 40% demineralized water mixture.
fig. 9 - 1.4 16V version F0Q0617mfig. 10 - 1.4 T-JET and 1.9 Multijet version F0Q0619m
The cooling system uses
PARAFLUUPantifreeze. Do
not add fluid having different
specifications from that al-
ready existing. PARAFLU
UPcannot be
mixed with other types of fluids. Should
other fluids be added, do not start the
engine and contact Fiat Dealership as
soon as possible.
Do not remove the reservoir
cap when the engine is hot:
you risk scalding yourself. The cool-
ing system is pressurised. If necessary,
replace the cap only with another
genuine one, otherwise system effi-
ciency could be compromised.
