Correct servicing is crucial for
guaranteeing a long life for the vehicle
under the best conditions.
For this reason, Alfa Romeo has
planned a series of checks and services

Before each service, it is always
necessary to carefully follow the
instructions in the Scheduled Servicing
Plan (e.g. periodically check level of
fluids, tire pressure, etc.).
Scheduled Servicing is offered by an
authorized dealer according to a set
time schedule. If, during each
operation, in addition to the ones
scheduled, the need arises for further
replacements or repairs, these may be
carried out with owners explicit consent

DEALER SERVICE
The following pages contain
instructions on the required
maintenance from the technical
personnel who designed the vehicle.
In addition to these specific
maintenance instructions specified for
routine scheduled servicing, there are
other components which may require
periodic maintenance or replacement
over the vehicle’s life cycle.
Engine Oil
Engine Oil Level Check
To ensure correct engine lubrication,
the oil must always be kept at the
prescribed level (see "Engine
Compartment" in this chapter).
Check the oil level at regular intervals,
for example every 1864 miles
(3000 km).
It must be checked about five minutes
after stopping the engine, once full
operating temperature is reached.
The vehicle must also be parked on as
level a surface as possible.
Ensure that the oil level is within the
interval on the dipstick between the
minimum and maximum limits.
The engine oil level can be checked
using the Connect system. To access
the function, activate the main menu
(MENU button) and select the following
options in sequence: “Applications”;
“My Car”; “Oil level”.Changing the Engine Oil
See the "Maintenance Plan" for the
correct servicing intervals.

certified engine oils (see description in
"Fluid And Lubricants" in the "Technical
Specifications" chapter).
Additives for Engine Oil
It is strongly recommended not to use
additives (other than leak detection
dyes) with the engine oil.
The engine oil is a product designed
