2018 FIAT TALENTO oil filter

PROTECTING THE
ENVIRONMENT
Temperature of the exhaust gases
The system controlling the exhaust lets
you identify the malfunctions of the
vehicle's anti-pollution device. These
faults can cause an excess in polluting
emissions and cause mechanical
damage.
This warning light on the instrument
panel indicates any system function
failure:
If it stays on, contact a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible;
If it flashes, you need to reduce the
engine running until the flashing stops.
Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.
Refer to the information in the "AdBblue
(Urea) additive tank" paragraph in the
"Knowing your vehicle" chapter.
The vehicle was designed with
environmental friendliness in mind for its
entire life cycle: from manufacture to
use up to the end of its life cycle.Manufacture
The vehicle's manufacture has been
carried out at an industrial factory that
applies advanced procedures aimed at
environmental impact reduction with
respect to the inhabitants and nature in
the surrounding areas (reduction of
water and power consumption,
atmospheric and water emissions,
disposal and evaluation of waste).
Emissions
While it is being used, the vehicle was
designed to emit a lower quantity of
greenhouse gasses (CO
2) and therefore
lower consumption (ex.: 170 g/km
amounts to 6.4 l/100 km for a Diesel
vehicle).
Moreover, the cars are equipped with
anti-pollution systems such as the
catalytic exhaust, oxygen sensor, etc.
For some vehicles, this system is
rounded out with an anti-particulate
filter that allows a reduction in particle
emissions.
Used and replaced parts on sale during
regular servicing (battery, oil filter, air
filter, batteries, etc.) and oil tanks (both
empty and full of used oil) must be
delivered to specialised waste disposal
consortiums.
To hand the vehicle over at the end of
its life without extra cost, contact one of
our dealerships if you are purchasing
another vehicle or an FCA-authorised
collection and scrapping centre.These centres have been carefully
chosen to offer high quality service for
the collection, treatment and recycling
of vehicles at their end of life, respecting
the surrounding environment.
Recyclability
The vehicle is 85% recyclable and 95%
recoverable.
To achieve these aims, several of the
vehicle's parts have been designed so
they can be recycled. The structure and
materials have been especially studied
to facilitate dismantling of these
components and their re-treatment in
specific chains.
In order to preserve raw material
resources, the vehicle incorporates
several parts in recycled plastic or
renewable materials (plant or animal like
cotton or wool).

(3) The actual interval for changing engine oil and replacing the engine oil filter depends on the vehicle usage conditions and is signalled by the warning light or
message on the instrument panel. It must never exceed 2 years or 40,000 km. Change engine oil and filter every year if the vehicle is driven mainly in town.
(4) Areas that are not dusty: recommended maximum mileage 160,000 km. Regardless of the mileage, the belt must be replaced every 6 years. Dusty areas and/or
heavy conditions (cold climates, urban driving, long periods of idling): the recommended maximum distance is 60,000 km. Regardless of the mileage, the belt
must be replaced every 4 years.
(5) When refuelling the vehicle with a quality below the relevant European specification, this filter must be replaced every 20,000 km
(6) Replacing it every 4 years or 120,000 km is recommended

SERVICING AND CARE

PERIODIC CHECKS
Every1,000km or before long trips
check and, if necessary, top up:
engine coolant level;
brake fluid level;
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 positioning/wear of
windscreen/rear window wiper blades.
Every3,000km, check and top up the
engine oil level.
DEMANDING VEHICLE
USE
If the vehicle is mostly used in one of
the following conditions:
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 inactivity;
the following checks must be carried
out more often than indicated in the
Scheduled Service Plan:
check front disc brake pad condition
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 (gaiters/sleeves/
bushes, etc.);
check battery charge and battery
fluid level (electrolyte);
visually inspect conditions 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.
SERVICING
PROCEDURES
The vehicle respects the recycling
criteria and scrapped vehicle
assessment that will become law in
2016.
Therefore, some of the vehicle’s
components are designed with their
ultimate recycling in mind.
These components can easily be
disassembled to be recovered and
reused in the recycling industry.
Moreover, thanks to its advanced
design, its original setup and its modest
fuel consumption, the vehicle complies
with the anti-pollution regulations in
force. We are actively committed to
reducing polluting gases and saving
energy. But the level of polluting gas
emissions and vehicle consumption
also depend on you. Take care to use
and service your vehicle correctly.
Keep in mind that lack of respect for
anti-pollution laws can expose the
vehicle's owner to administrative
sanctions. Moreover, replacing engine,
fuel system and exhaust parts with
other non-original ones voids the
vehicle's compliance with the
anti-pollution regulations.

Have adjustments and vehicle checks
done at a Fiat Dealership so they
comply with the instructions in the
Scheduled Service Plan: all the means
and material means that allow the
vehicle’s guarantee to be maintained
are available here.
ENGINE REGISTRATION
The air filter, oil filter: a dirty cartridge
reduces performance. You need to
replace it.
Minimum: no adjustment is needed.
CHECKING LEVELS
ENGINE OIL
An engine normally consumes oil to
lubricate it and cool the moving parts,
and it is normal to have to top up the
lubricating circuit between two oil
changes.
However, if the oil consumption is more
than 0.5 litres every 1000 km after the
run-in period, you need to contact a
Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Periodically check the oil
level and in any case before long trips,
otherwise you risk damaging the
engine.

Oil level check
The oil level should be checked with the
vehicle on a flat surface and the engine
stopped and cold.
To know the oil level exactly and to
make sure it has not exceeded the
maximum level (risk of damaging the
engine), you need to use the dipstick.The instrument panel display only
warns you when the level is at
minimum.
take out the dipstick and clean it with
a clean rag;
insert it as far as it will go;
take it back out;
check the level: it must never be
lower than "min" A fig. 265 nor above
the "max" level B.
Once you have checked the level, insert
the dipstick as far as it will go.
IMPORTANT To avoid splashing, you
can use a funnel when topping up/filling
up.
Topping up/filling the oil
The vehicle has to be on a level surface,
engine stopped and cold (e.g.: before
starting in the morning).

IMPORTANT
44)In any case, you should not exceed the
maximum filling level: you risk damaging the
engine and catalytic converter. If the
maximum level is exceeded, do not start
the engine: please see a Fiat Dealership.
45)Be careful not to confuse the various
types of fluids while topping up: they are
not compatible with each other! Topping up
with an unsuitable fluid could severely
damage the vehicle.
46)The oil level must never exceed the
MAX. mark.
47)Always top up using engine oil of the
same specifications as that already in the
engine.
48)PARAFLU UP protective anti-freeze is
used in the engine cooling system. Use
fluid of the same type as that contained in
the cooling system for any top-ups.
PARAFLU UP fluid cannot be mixed with
any other type of fluid. If this happens, do
not start the engine under any
circumstances and contact a Fiat
Dealership.
49)Prevent brake fluid, which is highly
corrosive, from coming into contact with
painted parts. Should it happen,
immediately wash with water.
IMPORTANT
5)The used engine oil and the filter that has
been replaced contain substances that are
harmful to the environment. To change the
oil and filters, we advise you to contact a
Fiat Dealership.
FILTERS
Replacement of filtering components
(air filter, passenger compartment filter,
oil filter, etc.) is provided in the vehicle's
Scheduled Service Plan.
Replacement
