Engine Oil - Alfa Romeo Stelvio Supplement To Owners Handbook

ENGINE OIL

6) 4)
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 the
following functions from the main menu
(MENU button) in sequence:
"Car"; "Car status" 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 fi rst
red mark, add oil through the fi ller 2,
considering that each notch shown on the
display corresponds to approximately
250 ml.
5)
In case of oil change or top-up, check the
amount introduced using the dipstick.
The level must NEVER be over the
MAX line.
The oil level must be checked with
the dipstick with the engine warm
(temperature of about 90°C) and after
waiting for 5 minutes.
IMPORTANT Make sure not to add too
much engine oil when topping up.
Engine oil in excess may damage the
engine. Never exceed the MAX level when
topping up engine oil. It is advisable to
check the oil level in intermediate steps.
If the level is over the MAX line on the
dipstick, go to a Dedicated Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
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.
Oil level indication update on display
If a top up is needed, ensure that the oil
level indication on the display is correct
by leaving the car on fl at ground with the
engine running for approximately
5 minutes (temperature of about 90°C),
then switch it off, wait for 5 minutes, turn
the starter switch to ON without starting
the engine and wait for a few seconds.
If the level indication is not updated after
the previously described procedure,
repeat the engine adjustment, stop the
engine and wait a further 5 minutes
before starting it again.
If the indication is not updated after the
second start, contact the Dedicated
Alfa Romeo Dealership.
IMPORTANT In normal working
conditions, the oil level indication is
shown on the instrument panel display.
In case of oil level sensor failure
(condition indicated by the lighting of
the symbol on the instrument panel
display), use the oil dipstick in the engine
compartment EXCLUSIVELY for the time
needed to restore correct operation of
the oil level sensor. The latter operation
must be performed at a dedicated
Alfa Romeo Dealership.
Engine oil consumption
6) 1)
The maximum engine oil consumption is
usually 400 grams every 1000 km.
When the car is new, the engine needs
to run in, therefore the engine oil
consumption can only be considered
stabilised after the fi rst 5000 - 6000 km.
