FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS
RECOMMENDED PRODUCTS AND THEIR SPECIFICATIONS
Use Fluid and lubricant specifications Original fluids Change
for correct car operation and lubricants
For diesel engines, in emergency cases where genuine products are not available, lubricants with min. performance ACEA B4 and ACEA C2 are
accepted. If this is the case, the best engine performance is not guaranteed. We however recommend replacing the lubricant with those recommended
by Alfa Romeo Authorized Services.
Use of products with low-quality properties than ACEA A3 and ACEA B4 could cause damages to the engine that are not covered by the warranty.

– extra-urban cycle: frequent ac-
celerating in all gears, simulating ex-
traurban use of the car; the speed varies
between 0 and 120 km/h;
– combined consumption: is cal-
culated weighing about 37% of urban
cycle consumption and about 63% of
extraurban consumption.IMPORTANT The type of route,
traffic situations, weather condi-
tions, driving style, general con-
ditions of the car, trim level/
equipment/accessories, load, cli-
mate control system, roof rack,
other situations that affect air
drag may lead to different fuel
consumption levels than those
measured.FUEL CONSUMPTION
The fuel consumption figures given in
the table below are determined on the
basis of the homologation tests set
down by specific European Directives.
The procedures below are followed for
measuring consumption:
– urban cycle: cold starting followed
by driving that simulates urban use of
the car;
