IMPORTANT - Engine oil
Should prevailing use of the car be under one of the
following specially heavy conditions:
❒trailer or caravan towing;
❒dusty roads;
❒short distances (less than 7-8 km) repeated and
with external temperatures below zero;
❒frequently idling engines or long distance low speed
driving (e.g. taxis or door-to-door deliveries) or in
case of a long term inactivity;
replace engine oil more frequently than required on
“Service schedule”.
IMPORTANT - Air cleaner
If the car is used on dusty roads change the air cleaner
more frequently than the indications in the “Service
schedule”.
If in doubt as to how often the engine oil and air
cleaner should be changed according to how you use
the car, contact a Fiat Dealership.IMPORTANT - Pollen filter
If the vehicle is used frequently in dusty or heavily
polluted environments it is advisable to replace the
filtering element more frequently; in particular it
should be replaced if a reduction of the amount of air
admitted to the passenger compartment is noted.
IMPORTANT - Diesel filter
The possibility of topping up with diesel fuel not
complying with EN590 European Norm might make it
necessary to replace the filter more frequently than
indicated in the “Service schedule”.

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 consumption can only be
considered stabilised after the first 5000 - 6000 km.IMPORTANT The oil consumption depends on driving
style and the conditions under which the car is used.
IMPORTANT Do not add oil with specifications other
than that already in the engine.
