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.

ENGINE COOLANT B-fig. 1-2-3
The coolant level must be checked when the engine is cold
and must be between the MIN and MAX lines on the ves-
sel. If the level is low, slowly add a mixture of 50% dis-
tilled water and 50% PARAFLU UP of the PETRONAS
LUBRICANTS Group through the filler neck until the lev-
el reaches MAX. The mixture of 50% PARAFLU UP and
distilled water provides protection from freezing down to
a temperature of –35°C. For particularly harsh environ-
mental conditions use a mixture of 60% PARAFLU UP
and 40% distilled water.Proceed very carefully inside the engine com-
partment when the engine is hot: risk of
burns. Remember that the fan may start up
if the engine is hot: risk of injury. Pay attention to
scarves, ties and other loose fitting garments: they
might get caught by moving components.
Don’t add any oil with different specifications
to those of the existing engine oil.
The exhausted engine oil and the replaced oil
filter contain substances that may be dan-
gerous for the environment. It is advisable
to have oil and filters changed by a Lancia Deal-
ership where they will be disposed of according to
the law.
PARAFLU UP antifreeze is used in the engine
cooling system. Use fluid of the same type
contained in the cooling system for top-ups.
PARAFLU UP may not be mixed with other types
of fluids. If this accidentally occurs, do not start the
engine and contact a Lancia Dealership.
