2015 FIAT DUCATO BASE CAMPER engine oil

ENGINE OIL
48)
Check the oil level a few minutes
(about 5) after the engine has
stopped, with the vehicle parked on
level ground.
The oil level must be between the
MIN and MAX marks on the
dipstick B fig. 239 - fig. 240 - fig.
241.
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 fig. 239 - fig. 240 - fig. 241,
until it reaches the MAX mark.
The oil level must never exceed the
MAX mark.
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 driving style and the
conditions under which the vehicle
is used.
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.
IMPORTANT Always top up using
engine oil of the same
specifications as that already in the
engine.
ENGINE COOLANT
49)182)
The coolant level must be checked
when the engine is cold and must
range between the MIN and MAX
marks on the reservoir.
If the level is to low, operate as
follows:
❒remove the plastic cover A fig. 242,
rotating the locking screws B fig.
242 counter-clockwise, to access the
filler of the reservoir;❒slowly pour a mixture of 50%
demineralised water and 50%
PARAFLU
UPfrom PETRONAS
LUBRICANTS through the reservoir
filler C fig. 239 - fig. 240 - fig. 241
until the level is close to MAX.
A 50-50 mixture of PARAFLUUPand
distilled water gives freeze
protection up to –35°C.
When the vehicle is used in
particularly harsh weather
conditions, we recommend using a
60-40 mixture of PARAFLU
UPand
demineralised water.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

BRAKE FLUID
186) 187)
50)
Undo the cap E fig. 239 - fig. 240 -
fig. 241 and check that the liquid
contained in the reservoir is at
the maximum level.
The fluid level in the reservoir must
not exceed the MAX mark.
Use the brake fluid shown in the
"Fluids and lubricants" table (see
"Technical Specifications").
NOTE Carefully clean the cap of the
reservoir and the surrounding
surface.
Take great care to ensure that
impurities do not enter the reservoir
when the plug is opened.
For topping-up, always use a funnel
with integrated filter with mesh
equal to or lower than 0.12 mm.IMPORTANT Brake fluid absorbs
moisture. For this reason, if the
vehicle is mainly used in areas with
a high degree of atmospheric
humidity, the fluid should be
replaced at more frequent intervals
than specified in the “Scheduled
Servicing Plan”.
IMPORTANT
47) When topping up, take care not
to mix up the various types of
fluids: they are not compatible
with each other and could
seriously damage the car.
48) The used engine oil and the filter
that has been replaced contain
substances that are harmful to
the environment. To change the
oil and filters, we advise you to
contact a Fiat Dealership.49) PARAFLU
UPantifreeze is used in
the engine cooling system. Use
fluid of the same type as that
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 start the engine and contact a
Fiat Dealership.
50) Avoid allowing brake fluid, which
is extremely corrosive, to come
into contact with painted areas.
Should it happen, wash
immediately with water.
51) Do not press the power steering
end of travel lock for longer than 8
consecutive seconds with the
engine running because it will
cause noise and risk damaging
the system.
WARNING
180) Never smoke when performing
operations in the engine
compartment. Flammable gases
and fumes may be present and
risk igniting.
