For diesel engines, in emergency cases where genuine products are not available, lubricants with min. performance
ACEA C2; are acceptable. If this is the case, the best engine performance is not guaranteed. We recommend replacing the lubricant as soon as possi-
ble at an Alfa Romeo Authorised Service Provider.
The use of products with characteristics that are not up to ACEA C3 and ACEA C2 standard could cause engine damage not covered by the warranty.
