IMPORTANT It is advisable to check the
oil level indication before long journeys.
The engine oil level can be seen on the
instrument panel display every time the
engine is started, or on the Connect
system display by activating on the main
menu (MENU button) the following
functions in sequence: "Apps"; "My Car"
and "Oil Level".
Check on the display using the 6 notches
that the oil level is between MIN and
MAX level: 1 notch MIN level, 6 notches
MAX level. If the oil level indication
reaches the first red mark, add oil
through the filler 1, considering that each
notch shown on the display corresponds
to approximately:
2.0 T4 MAir engine
0.055 UK gal (250 ml).
2.2 JTD engine
0.040 UK gal (150 ml).

IMPORTANT Make sure not to add too
much engine oil when topping up. Engine
oil in excess may damage the engine.
Have the car checked. Never exceed the
MAX level when topping up engine oil.
It is advisable to check the oil level in
intermediate steps on the display.
IMPORTANT The oil level is not refreshed
immediately on the display after topping
up. Consequently, wait for the oil level to
be refreshed on the display following to
procedure shown below.
Top-up and oil level indication update
on display
If a top-up is needed, proceed as follows
to ensure correct indication of the oil
level on the display:
2.0 T4 MAir engine
with the vehicle level, run the engine
for approximately 5 minutes
(temperature higher than 176 °F (80°C))
and then stop the engine;
start the engine again and idle it for
about 2 minutes.
2.2 JTD engine
with the vehicle level, run the engine
until the second oil temperature notch
lights up on the display on the instrument
panel, then stop the engine;
wait for at least 3 minutes, turn the
ignition switch to ON without starting the
engine and wait for 20 seconds.
IMPORTANT If the indication is not
correct after the procedure, contact an
Alfa Romeo Dealership.
IMPORTANT The oil dipstick in the engine
compartment, on versions with 2.2 JTD
engine, must be used ONLY if the oil level
sensor is faulty. The latter condition is
indicated by the symbol which will
appear on the instrument panel.
The manual engine oil level checking
procedure must be carried out, when
necessary, on a cold engine only.
Never attempt to carry out the manual
engine oil checking procedure (using the
dipstick) with the engine hot. Contact
with the surrounding hot engine parts
could cause burns.
This operation is permitted only for the
time actually needed to restore correct
operation of the oil level sensor at an Alfa
Romeo dealership.
Engine oil consumption
67)
4)
The maximum engine oil consumption is
usually 0.88 lb (400 grams) every 620 mi
(1000 km). When the car is new, the
engine needs to be run in; therefore the
engine oil consumption can only be
considered stabilised after the first
3100 - 3730 mi (5000 - 6000 km).
