2009 Lancia Thesis oil

IMPORTANTThe oil consump-
tion depends on the driving style and
the conditions under which the car is
used.Used engine oil and re-
placed oil filters contain
substances which can harm
the environment. We recommend
you have the car seen to at a Lan-
cia Dealership for the oil and filter
change. It is suitably equipped for
disposing of used oil and filters in
an environmentally friendly way
that complies with the law.ENGINE COOLANT (fig. 13)
Do not remove the reser-
voir cap when the engine is
hot: you risk scalding
yourself!
Check coolant level when the engine
is cold and with the car on flat
ground. The level should be includ-
ed between MINandMAXreference
lines on the reservoir.
If the level is low, loosen the reser-
voir cap Aand top up with
PARAFLU UPuntil reaching the
MAXreference line.

The engine cooling sys-
tem works with PARAFLU
UP. Top up only with the
same fluid contained in the cool-
ing circuit. PARAFLU UP cannot
be mixed up with PARAFLU 11 or
other fluids. Should this take
place, do not start the engine and
contact a Lancia Dealership. In
case of need, lacking the speci-
fied fluid, top up with water and
contact a Lancia Dealership to
have the proper proportions
restored.
The cooling system is
pressurised. If necessary,
replace the cap with a
genuine spare part to avoid com-
promising the system efficiency.
The mixture of distilled water
and PARAFLU gives freeze pro-
tection down to -35°C. POWER STEERING FLUID
(fig. 14-15)
Fluid level in the reservoir should
be at the maximum.
This check should be performed
when the engine is cold and with the
car on level ground.
For topping up, remove cap A,
after loosening the fastening screws
Bwith the wrench provided (in the
tool bag), then remove hose Cand
loosen cap D.
Check that the level reaches the
MAXreference line on the dipstick
integral with the reservoir cap (for
cold check use the level indicated on
the 20 °C side of the dipstick).If the fluid level in the reservoir is
below the specified one, top up only
with one of the products shown in
table “Fluids and lubricants” in
chapter “Technical Specifications”
proceeding as follows:
– Start the engine and wait for the
oil level in the reservoir to stabilise.
– With the engine running, turn the
steering wheel lock to lock a few
minutes.
– Top up to the MAXreference line
and then refit the cap D.

Oil consumption is ex-
tremely low. If the oil level
needs topping up again af-
ter a short period of time, have the
system checked for leakage at a
Lancia Dealership.BRAKE AND HYDRAULIC
CLUTCH FLUID (fig. 16)
Unscrew cap A: check that the fluid
level in the reservoir is at maximum.
Fluid level in the reservoir shall not
exceed the MAXmark.
If fluid has to be added, it is sug-
gested to use the brake fluid in table
"Fluids and lubricants" (see chapter
"Technical characteristics").
NOTEClean accurately the tank cap
Aand the surrounding surface.
Prevent brake fluid, which
is highly corrosive, from
coming into contact with
painted parts. Should it happen,
immediately wash with water.
Do not let the power
steering fluid come into
contact with hot engine
parts. It catches fire very easily.

– Refit hose C.
– Refit cap Aand check for seal
proper positioning into its seat, then
secure the cap with screws B.At plug opening, pay maximum at-
tention in order to prevent any impu-
rities from entering the tank.
For topping up, always use a funnel
with integrated filter with mesh equal
to or lower than 0.12 mm.
IMPORTANT Brake fluid absorbs
moisture, for this reason, if the car is
mainly used in areas with a high de-
gree of atmospheric humidity, the
fluid should be replaced at more fre-
quent intervals than specified in the
“Service schedule”.

Engine compartment
At the end of each winter season,
carefully clean the engine compart-
ment without directing the water jet
against electronic control units.
Have this done at a garage.
Detergents pollute water.
For this reason the car
must be washed in an
area equipped for the collection
and purification of the liquids
used while washing.
IMPORTANTThe car should
washed with the engine cold and the
ignition key at STOP. After washing
make sure that the various protec-
tions (e.g. rubber caps and various
covers) have not been damaged or
removed.INTERIORS
From time to time check that water
has not collected under the mats
(from dripping shoes, umbrellas,
etc.) which could cause the steel to
rust.
Never use inflammable
products like fuel oil
ether or rectified petrol
for cleaning inside the car. The
electrostatic discharges generat-
ed when rubbing to clean may
cause fire.
Do not keep aerosol cans
in the car. There is the
risk they might explode.
Aerosol cans must never be
exposed to a temperature above
50°C; when the weather starts to
get hot the temperature inside the
car might go well beyond that fig-
ure.
PLASTIC PARTS INSIDE
THE CAR
Use special products designed not
to alter the appearance of the com-
ponents.
IMPORTANTDo not use alcohol
or petrol to clean the instrument
panel.
CLEANING ALCANTARA
SEATS
Alcantara upholstery is easy to
clean. Follow the same instructions
provided for velvet upholstery.
