ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION
The maximum engine oil
consumption is usually 400 grams
every 1000 km.
When the vehicle 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 the driving style and the
conditions under which the vehicle is
used.ENGINE COOLANT fig. 154
The coolant level must be checked
when the engine is cold and must be
above the MIN mark on the
reservoir.
If the level is low, slowly pour a
mixture of 50% demineralised water
and 50% PARAFLU
UPby PETRONAS
LUBRICANTS through the filler A
until the level is nearly at MAX.
A 50-50 mixture of PARAFLU
UPand
distilled water gives freeze
protection to –35°C.
Used engine oil and the
oil filter contain harmful
substances for the
environment. It is advisable to
have oil and filters changed by a
Fiat Dealership, where they will
be disposed of properly and in
accordance with the law.
The engine cooling
system uses PARAFLUUP
protective antifreeze
fluid. Use fluid of the same type
contained in the cooling system
for any top-ups. PARAFLU
UP
cannot be mixed with any other
type of fluid. If this happens, do
not under any circumstances
start the engine and contact a
Fiat Dealership.
