ENGINE OIL
Check the oil level a few minutes (about 5) after the
engine has stopped, with the vehicle parked on
level ground.
For 1.4 16V, 1.3 16V MultiJet and 1.6 16V
MultiJet versions
Remove the engine oil dipstick A, clean it with a
lint-free cloth and reinsert it. Extract the engine oil
dipstick again and check that the level is between the
MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick.
The range between the MIN and MAX marks
corresponds to about 1 litre of oil.
If the oil level is near or under the MIN line, add oil
through the filler B until it reaches the MAX line.
The oil level must never exceed the MAX
mark.
For 0.9 TwinAir 105 HP versions
The engine oil dipstick A is integral with plug B.
Undo the plug, clean the dipstick with a cloth that
does not leave traces, reinsert the dipstick and
re-tighten the plug.
Unscrew the plug again and check that the engine oil
level is between the MIN and MAX marks on the
dipstick.Engine oil consumption
The maximum engine oil consumption is
approximately 400 grams every 1,000 km.
During the initial period of usage for the vehicle, the
engine is bedding in, therefore the engine oil
consumption may settle down only after the first
5,000 - 6,000 km.
IMPORTANT After adding or changing the oil, let the
engine run for a few seconds and wait a few minutes
after switching it off before checking the level.
Do not add oil with characteristics that
are different from those of the oil
currently in the engine.Used engine oil and oil filters contain
substances which are harmful to the
environment .To change the oil and filters,
we advise you to contact a Fiat Dealership.
