2015 Lancia Delta engine oil

ENGINE OIL A - Fig. 1
Check the oil level a few minutes (about five) 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 marks
corresponds to about 1 litre of oil.
If the level of the oil is close to or below the MIN mark,
add oil via the filler neck until the MAX mark is reached.
The oil level must never exceed the MAX mark.
Engine oil consumption
The maximum engine oil consumption is usually 400
grams every 1,000 km. When the car is new, the engine
needs to 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 car usage conditions.
IMPORTANT After adding or changing the oil, let the en-
gine run for a few seconds and wait a few minutes after
turning it off before you check the level.When the engine is hot, take care when work-
ing inside the engine compartment to avoid
burns. Remember that when the engine is hot,
the fan may operate: danger of injury. Pay atten-
tion to scarves, ties and other loose fitting garments:
they may get caught by moving components.
Do not add any oil with different specifica-
tions than those of the existing engine oil.
The used engine oil and the replaced oil fil-
ter contain substances that may be danger-
ous for the environment. It is advisable to
have oil and filters changed by a Lancia Dealership
where they will be disposed of according to the law.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE255
Windows
Use specific detergents and clean cloths to prevent scratch-
ing or altering the transparency.
IMPORTANT Wipe the inside surface of the rear window
gently with a cloth in the direction of the filaments to avoid
damaging the heater coils.
Engine compartment
At the end of each winter, thoroughly wash the engine
compartment, taking care to avoid spraying the water jet
directly onto the electronic control units and the relay/fuse
box on the left side of the engine compartment (driving
direction). Have this operation performed at a specialised
workshop.
IMPORTANT The washing should take place with the en-
gine cold and the ignition key in the STOP position. After
the washing operation, make sure that the various protec-
tions (e.g. rubber caps and guards) have not been removed
or damaged.Front headlights
Use a soft cloth soaked in water and detergent for wash-
ing cars.
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic substances (e.g. petrol)
or ketones (e.g. acetone) for cleaning the plastic lenses of
the front headlights.
IMPORTANT When cleaning the car with a pressure wash-
er, keep the water jet at least 20 cm away from the head-
lights.
