ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION
The maximum engine oil consumption is usually 400 grams
every 1,000 km.
During the initial period of usage for the vehicle, the en-
gine is bedding in, therefore the engine oil consumption
may settle down only after the first 5,000 – 6,000 km.
IMPORTANT The oil consumption depends on driving
style and the conditions under which the car is used.

Be very careful working in the engine com-
partment 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. Make
sure that scarves, ties and other items of loose-fit-
ting clothing do not get caught up in moving com-
ponents.
WARNING
Do not add oil with different characteris-
tics from those of the existing engine oil.
The used engine oil and the replaced oil fil-
ter contain substances that are harmful to
the environment. It is advisable to have oil
and filters changed by a Fiat Dealership, where they
will be disposed of properly and in accordance with
the law.
