2009 Lancia Delta engine oil

12GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR
Low battery charge (red)
The warning light (or symbol in the display)
comes on when the ignition key is turned to
MAR, but it should go out as soon as the engine
has started (with the engine running at idle speed a brief
delay before going out is acceptable).
If the warning light stays on, glowing steadily or flash-
ing: contact a Lancia Dealership immediately.
w
Low engine oil pressure (red)
The warning light comes on when the ignition
key is turned to MAR, but it should go out as
soon as the engine has started (a brief delay be-
fore going out is acceptable). If there is insufficient engine
oil pressure the display will show the dedicated message.
Engine oil degraded (Multijet versions with DPF)
This warning light flashes when the system detects that
the engine oil has degraded.
After the first indication, at each engine start-up the
v
warning light will continue flashing for about 60 seconds
and then every 2 hours until the oil is changed.
The display will show a dedicated message.
v
If the vwarning light flashes, promptly
contact your nearest Lancia Dealership to
have the oil changed and the warning light on
the instrument panel turned off.
“Dualdrive” electric power steering
failure (red)
This warning light comes on when the ignition
key is turned to MAR, but it should go off after a
few seconds.
If the warning light (or symbol on the display) remains on,
you will not have steering assistance and the effort required
to operate the steering wheel will be increased; steering is,
however, possible. In this case contact a Lancia Dealership.
The display will show a dedicated message.

This warning light (or symbol on the display) comes on
when a failure is detected in the T.P.M.S. system (where
provided).
Should one or more wheels be fitted without sensors, the
instrument panel warning light will come on and stay on
until initial conditions are restored.
The display will show a dedicated message.
NOTE If one of the above-mentioned faults occurs,
contact a Lancia Dealership as soon as possible.
AFS system failure

a dedicated message.

STARTING UP AND DRIVING153

Accessories fitted on longitudinal bars
Remove any accessories such as: longitudinal bars, ski
racks, luggage rack, from the roof if they are not being
used. These accessories decrease aerodynamic penetration
and have a negative effect on fuel consumption. It is bet-
ter to use a trailer to transport particularly bulky objects.
Electrical devices
Use electrical devices only for the amount of time needed.
The heated rear windscreen, additional headlights, wind-
screen wipers and heater fan need a considerable amount
of energy; increasing the requirement of current increas-
es fuel consumption (up to +25% in the urban cycle).
Climate control
The climate control system leads to higher fuel consump-
tion (up to +20% on average): use air vents only when the
external temperature allows.
Spoilers
The use of non-certified aerodynamic items may adversely
affect air drag and fuel consumption levels.DRIVING STYLE
Starting
Do not warm the engine up with the car standing: the en-
gine warms up very slowly in these conditions, increas-
ing fuel consumption and emissions. It is advisable to start
off immediately and slowly keeping the engine speed
down: the engine will warm up much faster this way.
Unnecessary actions
Avoid revving up when starting at traffic lights or before
stopping the engine. The latter action, like doubling the
clutch, is unnecessary and causes increased fuel con-
sumption and pollution.
Gear selection
Use a higher gear as soon as traffic and road conditions
allow. Using a low gear for faster acceleration will increase
fuel consumption.
In the same way improper use of a high gear increases
fuel consumption, emissions and engine wear.
Top speed
Fuel consumption considerably increases as speed in-
creases. Keep your speed as even as possible, avoiding un-
necessary braking and acceleration, which cause excessive
fuel consumption and increased emissions.

Replace spark plugs
Replace air filter cartridge
Change engine oil and oil filter (or every 24 months)(**)
Change brake fluid (or every 2 years)
Change pollen filter (or every 15 months)
(*) Regardless of the km covered, the timing belt should be replaced every 4 years for particularly demanding use (cold climates,
driving in the city, idling for a long time) or in any case every 5 years.
(**) If the car is mainly used in cities or less than 10,000 km a year, change the engine oil and filter every 12 months.
For 1.4 Turbo Jet versions, in order to guarantee correct operation and prevent serious damage to the engine, it is essential to ob-
serve the following:
- only use spark plugs specifically certified for Turbo Jetengines; all spark plugs should be of the same type and brand (see the “En-
gine” paragraph);
- carefully observe the spark plug replacement intervals detailed in the Scheduled Service Plan;
- it is advisable to have this performed at a Lancia Dealership.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE203

REGULAR INSPECTIONS
Every 1,000 km or before long journeys, check and top
up if required:
engine coolant fluid level;
brake fluid level;
windscreen washer fluid level;
tyre pressure and condition;
operation of lights (headlights, direction indicators,
hazard lights, etc.);
operation of the windscreen wiper/washer system, po-
sition and wear of windscreen/rearscreen wiper blades;
Every 3,000 km check the following and top-up, if re-
quired: engine oil level.
You are recommended to use FL Selenia products, de-
signed and produced specifically for Lancia cars (see table
“Capacities” in chapter “6”).
DEMANDING USE OF THE CAR
If you use the vehicle mainly under one of the following
especially heavy conditions:
trailer or caravan towing;
dusty roads;
repetitive short distances (less than 7-8 km) with ex-
ternal temperatures below zero;
frequently idling the engine or long distances at low
speed driving (e.g. door-to-door deliveries) or long term
inactivity;
urban routes;

208CARE AND MAINTENANCE
ENGINE OIL A-fig. 1-2-3
Check the oil level a few minutes (about 5) after the en-
gine has stopped, with the car parked on level ground. The
oil level should be between the MIN and MAX marks on
the dipstick. The range between the MIN and MAX lev-
els corresponds to approximately 1 litre of oil.
If the oil level is near or under the MIN line, add oil
through the filler to reach the MAX line.
The oil level should never exceed the MAX line.Engine oil consumption
The maximum engine oil consumption is usually 400
grams every 1000 km. When the car is new, the engine
needs to be run in, therefore the engine oil consumption
can only be considered stabilised after the first 5,000 -
6,000 km.
IMPORTANT The oil consumption depends on driving
style and the conditions under which the car is used.
IMPORTANT After adding or changing the oil, let the en-
gine turn over for a few seconds and wait a few minutes
after turning it off before you check the level.
