ENGINE OIL fig. 5-6-7-8
Checking engine oil
Check the oil level a few minutes (about
5) after the engine has stopped, with the
car parked on level ground.
Check that the level is within the MIN and
MAX marks on the dipstick. The interval
between the MIN and MAX marks cor-
responds to about one litre of oil.Topping up engine oil
If the oil level is near or even below the
MIN mark, add oil through the filler neck,
until reaching the MAX mark. Oil level
shall never exceed the MAX mark.
IMPORTANT If a routine check reveals
that the oil level is above the MAX mark,
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.
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 be included between
the MINand MAXmark on the reser-
voir.
If the level is low, pour slowly a mixture
of 50% distilled water and 50% FL Selenia
PARAFLU UPthrough the filler neck.
A 50-50 mixture of PARAFLU UPand
distilled water gives freeze protection to
–35°C.
When the vehicle is used under particu-
larly harsh climate conditions, we recom-
mend using a 60-40 mixture of
PARAFLU UPand demineralised water.
IMPORTANT Do not remove the reser-
voir cap when the engine is hot: you risk
scalding yourself.

The cooling system is pres-

the cap only with another genuine
one, otherwise system efficiency
could be compromised.

IMPORTANT Bird droppings must be
washed off immediately and thoroughly as
the acid they contain is particularly ag-
gressive.
Windows
Use specific window cleaner products.
Use also clean cloths to avoid scratching
the glass or damaging the transparency.
IMPORTANT The inside of the
rearscreen should be wiped gently with a
cloth in the direction of the filaments to
avoid damaging the heating device.Front headlights
IMPORTANT When cleaning plastic lens-
es of front headlights, never use aromat-
ic substances (e.g. petrol) or ketones (e.g.:
acetone).
Engine compartment
At the end of the winter the engine com-
partment should be carefully washed,
without directing the jet against electron-
ic control units. Contact a specialised
workshop to have this done.
IMPORTANT Washing should be carried
out with the engine cold and the ignition
key at STOP. After washing make sure
that the various protections (e.g.: rubber
caps and various covers) have not been
damaged or removed.Detergents cause water pollu-
tion. Therefore the car should
be washed in areas equipped
for collecting and purifying
the liquid used in the washing process.
Never use flammable prod-
ucts like oil ether or rectified
petrol for cleaning car interiors. Elec-
trostatic discharges generated by rub-
bing during cleaning operations could
cause fire.

FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS
RECOMMENDED PRODUCTS AND THEIR SPECIFICATIONS
Use
For diesel engines, in emergency cases where genuine products are not available, lubricants with min. performance ACEA C2 are accepted. If
this is the case, the best engine performance is not guaranteed. We however recommend replacing the lubricant with those recommended by
Fiat Dealership.
The use of products with features lower than ACEA A1/B1 and ACEA C2 could cause engine damage which is not covered by warranty.
If the vehicle is used in particularly cold climates, ask your Fiat Dealership for the right Seleniaproduct. Lubricants for
