ENGINE OILCheck that the oil level is between the MIN and MAX references on the
dipstick A.
If the oil level is near or under the MIN reference, add oil through the
filler B until it reaches the MAX reference.
The oil level must never exceed the MAX reference.

Take out the engine oil dipstick A, clean it with a lint-free cloth and
reinsert it. Take it out again and check that the engine oil level is
between the MIN and MAX references on the dipstick.
Turbo TwinAir versions
Engine oil dipstick A is integral with plug B. Loosen the plug, clean the
dipstick with a cloth that does not leave traces, refit the dipstick and
re-tighten the plug.
Unscrew the cap again and check that the engine oil level is between
the MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick.
Engine oil consumption
The maximum engine oil consumption is approximately 400 grams
every 1,000 km. When the car is new, the engine needs to run in,
therefore the engine oil consumption can only be considered stabilised
after the first 5,000 - 6,000 km.
Do not add oil with specifications other than those of the oil
already in the engine.Used engine oil and oil filters contain substances which are
harmful to the environment. We recommend having the
oil and oil filter replaced by Alfa Romeo Authorized
Services.
ENGINE COOLANTIf the level is too low, unscrew reservoir cap C and add the fluid
described in the chapter "Technical Specifications".
PARAFLU
UPanti-freeze is used in the engine cooling
system. Use the same fluid as in the cooling system when
topping up. PARAFLU
UPcannot be mixed with any other
type of fluid. If this accidentally occurs, do not start the engine under
any circumstances. Contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services.
The cooling system is pressurised. If necessary, only
replace the cap with another genuine one or the
operation of the system may be adversely affected. Do
not remove the reservoir cap when the engine is hot: you risk
scalding yourself.
