2015 Lancia Ypsilon oil level

2. Engine oil deteriorated
(only Diesel versions with DPF)
The warning light will flash and a specific
message will appear on the display (in versions/
markets, where provided). The warning light may
flash in the following ways, depending on the
version:
❒1 minute every two hours;
❒cycles of 3 minutes with intervals with the
warning light off for 5 seconds until the oil
is changed.
After the first indication, at each engine start up
the warning light will continue flashing as
described above until the oil is changed. For
(versions/markets where provided), the display
shows a dedicated message together with the
warning light.
The flashing of the warning light should not be
considered as a fault, it simply informs the
customer that the oil needs to be changed
following normal car use.
Remember that the deterioration of the engine oil
is accelerated by:
❒mainly town use of the car which makes the
DPF regeneration process more frequent;
❒use of the car for short drives, in which the
engine does not have time to reach its regular
operating temperature;
❒repeated interruption of the regeneration
process, signalled by the DPF warning light
coming on.WARNING
If the warning light comes on, the
exhausted engine oil should be
changed as soon as possible; never drive
more than 500 km from the first
switching-on of this warning light. Failure to
observe the above may result in severe
damage to the engine and invalidate the
warranty. Remember that when the warning
light comes on, it does not mean that the
level of engine oil is low, so if the light
flashes you do not need to top up the engine
oil.
HOT ENGINE COOLANT
(red)
Turning the key to the MAR-ON position
illuminates the warning light, but it should switch
off after a few seconds.

Every 1,000 km or before long journeys, check and,
if necessary, restore the following:
❒engine coolant, brake fluid and windscreen
washer fluid level;
❒tyre inflation pressure and condition;
❒operation of lighting system (headlights, direction
indicators, hazard warning lights, etc.);
❒operation of screen washer/wiper system and

HEAVY-DUTY USE OF THE CAR
If the car is mainly used in one of the following
conditions:
❒towing a trailer or caravan;
❒dusty roads;
❒short, repeated journeys (less than 7-8 km) at
sub-zero outside temperatures;
❒engine often idling or driving long distances at
low speeds or long periods of idleness;
the following checks must be performed more
frequently than prescribed in the Scheduled
Servicing Plan:
❒check front disc brake pad conditions and wear;
❒check cleanliness of bonnet and boot locks,
cleanliness and lubrication of linkage;
❒visually inspect conditions of: engine, gearbox,
transmission, pipes and hoses (exhaust - fuel
system - brakes) and rubber elements (boots -
sleeves - bushes - etc.);❒check battery charge and battery fluid level
(electrolyte);
❒visually inspect condition of the accessory drive
belts;
❒check and, if necessary, change engine oil and
replace oil filter;
❒check and, if necessary, replace pollen filter;
❒check and, if necessary, replace air cleaner.
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.
