Synthetic-based oil, grade SAE 5W-40 ACEA C3.
FIAT 9.55535-S2 Classification
Synthetic-based oil, grade SAE 5W-30
FIAT 9.55535-S1 Classification
For diesel engines, in emergency cases where genuine products are not available, lubricants with min. performance ACEA C2 are acceptable.
If this is the case, the best engine performance is not guaranteed. We recommend replacing the lubricant as soon as possible at an Alfa Romeo
Authorised Service.
The use of products with characteristics that are not up to ACEA C3 (for petrol engines) and ACEA C2 (for diesel engines) standard could cause
engine damage not covered by the warranty.
For petrol versions with Multi Air system, the use of lubricants with features below ACEA C3 and SAE grade other than 5W-40 could cause damage
to the engine, not covered by the warranty.

FUEL CONSUMPTION
The fuel consumption figures given in the table below are deter-
mined on the basis of the homologation tests set down by specif-
ic European Directives.
The procedures below are followed for measuring consumption:
❍urban cycle: cold starting followed by driving that simulates
urban use of the car;
❍extra urban cycle: frequent accelerations in all gears, simulat-
ing extra urban use of the car: speed varies between 0 and
120 km/h;
❍combined fuel consumption: calculated based on about 37%
of urban cycle consumption and about 63% of extra urban con-
sumption.
IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic situations, weather conditions,
driving style, general conditions of the car, trim level/equip-
ment/accessories, load, climate control system, roof rack and oth-
er situations that affect air drag may lead to different fuel con-
sumption levels than those measured.
