CHECKING FLUID LEVELS
WARNING
Never smoke while working in the
engine compartment: gas and
inflammable vapours may be present, with
the risk of fire.
WARNING
Be very careful when working in the
engine compartment when the engine
is hot: you may get burned. Remember that
the fan may start up if the engine is hot:
this could injure you. Scarves, ties and other
loose clothing might be pulled by moving
parts.Be careful, when topping up, and take
care not to mix up the various types
of fluids: they are all incompatible with
one another and could seriously damage the
car.

ENGINE OIL
Check the oil level a few minutes (about five) after
the engine has stopped, with the car parked on
level ground.
For 1.2 8V 69 HP and 1.3 16V MultiJet
versions
Remove the engine oil dipstick B, clean it with a
cloth that does not leave any trace and resinsert it.
Extract it 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 mark, add
oil through the filler A until it reaches the MAX
mark.
The oil level should never exceed the
MAX mark.
For 0.9 TwinAir 85 HP versions
The engine oil dipstick A is integral with plug A.
Loosen the plug, clean the dipstick with a cloth
that does not leave traces, reinsert the dipstick
and re-tighten the plug. Extract the plug again
and check that the level is between the MIN and
MAX marks on the dipstick.Engine oil consumption
The maximum engine oil consumption is usually
400 grams every 1,000 km.
During the initial period of usage for the car, 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 filter contain
harmful substances for the
environment. You are advised to go to a
Lancia Dealership to have the oil and filters
replaced.
