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. 182 - fig. 183, 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. 183 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.

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. 184 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.

POWER STEERING FLUID
Loose the cap A fig. 187: check that the fluid in the
reservoir is included between the MIN and MAX
on the reservoir.
The level may exceed the MAX mark when the oil is
hot. If topping up is required, make sure the oil
you use has the same specifications as that already in
the system.
WARNING
Prevent power steering fluid from
coming into contact with hot engine
parts: it is flammable.
Power steering fluid consumption is
extremely low; if another top-up is
required after only a short period of time,
have the system checked for leaks at a Fiat
Dealership.
