Never smoke while working
in the engine compartment;
gas and inflammable vapours may be
present, with the risk of fire.
WARNING
When topping up take care
not to confuse the various
types of fluids: they are all in-
compatible with one anoth-
er and could seriously damage the ve-
hicle.

Engine oil top up funnel
(120 Multijet and 140 Multijet
versions) fig. 5
In order to make engine oil topping up
easier, 120 Multijet and 140 Multijet ver-
sions have been equipped with funnel
A-fig. 5, provided for the purpose and in-
stalled in the relevant engine compart-
ments.ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION
Max engine oil consumption is usually 400
grams every 1,000 km.
During the beginning of the vehicle’s life
the engine is tuning in. Engine oil con-
sumption can only be considered stabilised
after the first 5,000 - 6,000 km.
IMPORTANT The oil consumption de-
pends on driving style and the conditions
under which the vehicle is used.
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 fig. 3-4
Check the oil level a few minutes (about
5) after the engine has stopped, with the
vehicle parked on level ground.
The oil level shall be included between the
MINand MAXmarks on the dipstick B.
The gap between the MINand MAX
marks corresponds to about one litre of
oil.
If the oil level is near or even below the
MINmark, add oil through the filler neck
Auntil reaching the MAXmark.
Oil level shall never exceed the MAX
mark.
fig. 3 - 90 Multijet versionsF0P0149mF0P0268m
When the engine is hot, take
care when working inside the
engine compartment to avoid burns.
Remember that when the engine is
hot, fan may cut in: danger of injury.
Scarves, ties and other loose cloth-
ing might be pulled by moving parts.

ENGINE COOLANT fig. 6
The coolant level shall be checked with
cold engine and shall be within the MIN
and MAXmarks on the tank.
If the level is low, pour slowly a mixture
of 50% distilled water and 50%
PARAFLU UP of the FL Selenia Group
through the filler neck Auntil the level
reaches the MAXmark.
A 50-50 mixture of PARAFLU UPand
distilled water gives freeze protection to
–35°C.
fig. 6F0P0152m
The engine cooling system us-
es protective antifreeze fluid
PARAFLU UP. Use the same
fluid type as that already in
the cooling system when topping up.
PARAFLU UP fluid cannot be mixed
with any other type of fluid. Should it
happen, under no circumstances start
the engine; contact a Fiat Dealership.
The cooling system is pres-
surised. If necessary, replace
the cap only with another genuine
one, otherwise system efficiency
could be compromised. Do not re-
move the reservoir cap when the en-
gine is hot: you risk scalding yourself.
WARNING
Used engine oil and filter con-
tain harmful substances for
the environment. Contact Fi-
at Dealership to have the oil
and filter changed, as they are
equipped to dispose of the waste oil
and filters respecting the nature and
the law.
Do not add oil with specifica-
tions other than that already
in the engine.

MAINTENANCE
Make sure that the highly
corrosive brake fluid does not
drip onto the paintwork; if it
does, wash it off immediate-
ly with water.
Brake fluid is poisonous and
highly corrosive. In the event
of accidental contact, wash the parts
involved immediately with neutral
soap and water, then rinse thor-
oughly. Call the doctor immediately
if the fluid is swallowed.
WARNING
The symbol πon the con-
tainer indicates synthetic
brake fluid, distinguishing it from the
mineral kind. Using mineral fluids ir-
reversibly damages the special brak-
ing system rubber seals.
WARNING
POWER STEERING FLUID
With the vehicle on level ground, engine not
running and cold, check whether the oil lev-
el in the tank is between the MINand
MAXmarks on the tank fig 9 andfig. 10.
If oil is hot the level can also exceed the
MAXmark.
If required, top up with oil having the same
characteristics of the oil present in the sys-
tem.
fig. 9 - 90 Multijet versionsF0P0150mfig. 10 - 120 Multijet
and 140 Multijet versionsF0P0151m
Power steering oil consump-
tion is extremely low. If the
fluid level needs topping up
again after a short period of
time, have the system checked for leak-
age at a Fiat Dealership.
Do not allow the power
steering fluid to touch the
hot parts of the engine: it is inflam-
mable.
WARNING
For the van outfitting it is
recommended to replace the
brakes liquid every two years.

RECOMMENDED PRODUCTS AND THEIR SPECIFICATIONS
Use Fluid and lubricant specifications Genuine fluids Change

Oils for
diesel engines
For proper and regular operation of Multijet versions with DPF, only use genuine lubricant. In an emergency, lacking the genuine
product, top up only once with max. 0.5 l and contact Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
Should non-genuine SAE 5W-40 products be used, lubricants with minimum ACEA B4 properties for Diesel engines are tolerated;
in this event top engine performance is not guaranteed.
Using low-quality products, not compliant with ACEA B4 properties and specifications could cause engine damages not covered by
warranty.
For very cold temperatures, consult Fiat Dealership for the proper Seleniaproduct to use.SELENIA WR
