320 MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic oil change
indicator system. The oil change indicator system will
remind you that it is time to take your vehicle in for
scheduled maintenance.
Based on engine operation conditions, the oil change
indicator message will illuminate in the instrument clus-
ter. This means that an engine oil and engine oil filter
change is required for your vehicle. Operating conditions
such as frequent short-trips, trailer tow, extremely hot or
cold ambient temperatures, and E85 fuel usage will
influence when the “Change Oil” or “Oil Change Re-
quired” message is displayed. Severe Operating Condi-
tions can cause the change oil message to illuminate as
early as 3,500 miles (5,600 km) since last reset. Have your
vehicle serviced as soon as possible, within the next 500
miles (805 km).The Wrench Warning Light may appear in the cluster as
a service reminder when vehicle maintenance is required,
according to the scheduled maintenance mileage. The
maintenance schedule intervals are set by the manufac-
turer. Failure to have them carried out may void your
New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
NOTE:
Under no circumstances should oil change inter-
vals exceed 10,000 miles (16,000 km), twelve months or
350 hours of engine run time, whichever comes first. The
350 hours of engine run or idle time is generally only a
concern for fleet customers.
Severe Duty All Models
In addition, if your vehicle is used under demanding
conditions, including:
• On the track
• On dusty roads

(#) The spark plug change interval is mileage based only,
yearly intervals do not apply. The following are essential
to ensure correct operation and prevent serious damage
to the engine:
•Only use spark plugs of the same make and type
which are specially certified for such engines (refer to
“Fluids, Lubricants and Genuine Parts” in “Maintain-
ing Your Vehicle” for further information).
• Strictly comply with the spark plug replacement inter-
val given in the maintenance schedule for spark plug
replacement.
• Contact your Alfa Romeo Dealer if you have questions. (*) Regardless of the distance covered, the timing belt
must be changed every 4 years for particularly demand-
ing use (cold climates, city driving, long periods of
idling) or at least every 5 years.
(**) The actual interval for changing the oil and replacing
the engine oil filter depends on the vehicle usage condi-
tions and is signalled by the warning light or message (if
present) on the instrument panel or every 12 months.
(***) If the vehicle is operated in a dusty or dirty
environment the engine air filter has to be changed every
6,500 miles (10,000 km).
