Engine oil consumption
Max 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 con-
sumption can only be considered stabilised
after the first 5000 - 6000 km.
IMPORTANT The oil consumption de-
pends on driving style and the conditions
under which the car is used.
IMPORTANT Do not add oil with speci-
fications other than that already in the en-
gine.
WARNING
When the engine is hot, take
care when working inside the
engine compartment to avoid burns.
Remember that when the engine is
hot, the fan may cut in: danger of in-
jury. Scarves, ties and other loose
clothing might be pulled by moving
parts.
Used engine oil and filter con-
tain harmful substances for
the environment. Contact
Fiat Dealership to have the oil
and filter changed.

ENGINE COOLANT FLUID
fig. 11-12
The coolant level shall be checked with
cold engine and shall not be lower than
the MIN mark on the reservoir.
If the level is low, pour slowly a mixture of
50% distilled water and 50% PARAFLU
of the PETRONAS LUBRICANTS
through the filler neck A.
A 50-50 mixture of PARAFLU
tilled water gives freeze protection to
–35°C.
For particularly hard climate conditions, we
recommend use of a 60% PARAFLU
and 40% demineralized water mixture.
