234MAINTENANCE AND CARE
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct servicing is crucial for guaranteeing a long life for
the car under the best conditions.
For this reason, Lancia has planned a series of checks
and services at fixed distance intervals and, for ver-
sions/markets, where provided, at fixed time intervals,
as described in the Scheduled Servicing Plan.
Regardless of the above, it is always necessary to care-
fully follow the instructions in the Scheduled Servicing
Plan (e.g. periodically check level of liquids, tyre pressure,
etc.).
Scheduled Servicing is offered by all Lancia Dealerships
according to fixed time or kilometres/miles intervals. If,
during each operation, in addition to the ones scheduled,
the need arises for further replacements or repairs, these
may be carried out only with the explicit agreement of the
Customer. If your car is used frequently for towing, the in-
terval between one service operation and the next should
be reduced.IMPORTANT
The Scheduled Servicing services are set out by the Man-
ufacturer. Failure to have them carried out may invalidate
the warranty.
It is advisable to inform a Lancia Dealership of any small
operating irregularities without waiting for the next ser-
vice.
For versions equipped with specific supply (e.g. LPG)
and/or trim level, in addition to what is described in the
following Scheduled Servicing Plan, refer to the relevant
additional items in the dedicated supplements.

(1) The actual interval for changing the oil and replacing the engine oil filter depends on the vehicle usage conditions a\
nd is signalled by the warning light or message
in the instrument panel. Anyway, it must never exceed 2 years.
If the car is mainly used in towns and cities, change the engine oil and\
filter every year.
(2) Areas that are not dusty: advised maximum mileage 120,000 km. Regardless of the mileage, the belt must be replaced every 6 y ears.
Dusty areas and/or demanding use of the car (cold climates, town use, long peri\
ods of idling): advised maximum mileage 60,000 k m. Regardless of the mileage,
the belt must be replaced every 4 years.
(3) If the car runs on fuel with quality below the relevant European specification, this filter must be replaced every 20,000 km
(4) If the car is used in dusty areas, this cleaner must be replaced every 20,000 km.

CHECKING LEVELS

233-256 Delta GB 1ed 03/04/14 13:27 Pagina 239

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.
