ENGINE OIL
Check that the oil level is between the MIN and MAX references
on the dipstick A-fig. 1-2-3-4-5-6.
If the oil level is near or even under the MIN line, add oil using
the filler B to reach the MAX line.
Engine oil consumption
The maximum engine oil consumption is usually 400 grams every
1000 km. During the initial period of use the engine oil consumption
conditions should be considered as having stabilised after the first
5000 - 6000 km.
Don’t add any oil with different characteristics to
those of the existing engine oil.
The oil level should never exceed the MAX line.
Used engine oil and the replaced oil filter contain
substances that may be dangerous for the envi-
ronment. We recommend having the oil and oil fil-
ter replaced by an Alfa Romeo Authorised Services.
ENGINE COOLANT
If the level is too low, undo reservoir cap C-fig. 1-2-3-4-5-6 and add
the fluid described in chapter “6”.
PARAFLU UPantifreeze is used in the engine cooling
system. Use fluid of the same type contained in the
cooling system for top-ups. PARAFLU
UPmay not be
mixed with other types of fluids. If this accidentally oc-
curs, do not start the engine. Contact an Alfa Romeo Au-
thorised Services.
The engine cooling system is pressurised. If re-
quired, replace the cap with an original spare part
so as not to compromise system efficiency. Do not
remove the cap from the reservoir when the engine is hot:
risk of burns.
