SPECIFICATIONS
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 lubri-
cant 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 PETRONAS LUBRICANTS.
