ENGINE OIL
Engine oil level check
Check the oil level a few minutes (about 5) after the
engine has stopped, with the vehicle parked on
level ground.
Take out the dipstick A fig. 189 - fig. 190, clean it and
then fully reinsert it; take it out and check that the
level is between the MIN and MAX marks on the
dipstick. The interval between MIN and MAX marks
corresponds to about 1 litre of oil.
Topping up the engine oil
If the level of the oil is close to or below the MIN
mark, add oil via filler B fig. 190 until the MAX mark
is reached.
The oil level must never exceed the MAX. mark.IMPORTANT If the engine oil level after the check is
over the MAX level, go to a Fiat Dealership to
have the correct level restored.
IMPORTANT After adding or changing the oil, let the
engine turn over for a few seconds and wait a few
minutes after turning it off before you check the
level.
Engine oil consumption
The maximum engine oil consumption is usually 400
grams every 1000 km.
When the vehicle is new, the engine needs to be 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 the conditions under which the
vehicle is used.
