Engine oil consumption<br />
Maximum engine oil consumption is<br />
approx. 450 grams every 1000 Km.<br />
During the beginning of the vehicle’s<br />
life the engine is tuning in. Engine oil<br />
consumption can only be considered<br />
stabilised after the first 5,000 - 6,000<br />
km.<br />
IMPORTANT Engine oil consumption<br />
depends on the conditions the vehicle<br />
is being used in.<br />
Used engine oil and replaced<br />
oil filters contain<br />
substances which can<br />
harm the environment. We recommend<br />
you have the vehicle<br />
seen at a Fiat Dealership for the<br />
oil and filter change. It is suitably<br />
equipped for disposing of used oil<br />
and filters in an environmentallyfriendly<br />
way that complies with<br />
the law.<br />
170 VEHICLE MAINTENANCE<br />
ENGINE COOLANT<br />
WARNING<br />
Do not remove the reservoir<br />
cap when the engine is hot:<br />
you risk scalding yourself.<br />
WARNING<br />
The cooling system is pressurised.<br />
If necessary, replace<br />
the cap with a genuine spare<br />
part to avoid compromising the system<br />
efficiency.<br />
Check coolant level when the engine<br />
is cold. The level should be included<br />
between the MIN and MAX reference<br />
lines on the reservoir.<br />
If the level is low, loosen the expansion<br />
tank cap A-fig. 9 and top up<br />
slowly through the filler with the fluid<br />
specified in “Fluids and lubricants”<br />
table in section “Technical Specifica-<br />
tions”, until the level approaches the<br />
MAX line; contact Fiat Dealership<br />
for this operation.<br />
Coolant mixture gives freeze protection<br />
to – 40°C.<br />
Top up only with the<br />
same fluid contained in<br />
the cooling circuit.<br />
PARAFLU UP (red) cannot be<br />
mixed with PARAFLU 11 (blue)<br />
or with other fluids. Should this<br />
take place, donot start the engine<br />
and contact Fiat Dealership.<br />
