IMPORTANT Always top up using engine oil of the
same specifications as that already in the engine.
WARNING
Be very careful 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.
Used engine oil and replaced oil filters
contain substances which are harmful to
the environment .To change oil and filters,
we advise you to contact a Fiat Dealership.ENGINE COOLANT
The coolant level should be checked when the
engine is cold and should be between the MIN and
MAX lines on the vessel.
If the level is low, pour into the vessel through cap A
fig. 191 a 50% mixture of demineralised water and
PETRONAS LUBRICANTS PARAFLUUP.
The mixture of 50% PARAFLUUPand 50% distilled
water protects against freezing down to
temperatures of -35°C. For particularly harsh climate
conditions, we recommended using a mixture of
60% PARAFLUUPand 40% distilled water.
