ENGINE OIL
Check the oil level a few minutes (about
5) after the engine has stopped, with
the vehicle parked on level ground.
NOTE The dipstick is integrated in the
engine oil cap on 0.9 TwinAir 85 HP
versions.
For 1.2 8V versions:pull out the
engine oil dipstick B, clean it with a
cloth that does not leave any trace and
reinsert it..
For 0.9 TwinAir 85 HP version:The
engine oil dipstick A is integral with plug
A. Loosen the plug, clean the dipstick
with a cloth that does not leave traces,
reinsert the dipstick and re-tighten
the plug.
Extract the engine oil dipstick again and
check that the level is between the
MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick.
If the oil level is near or under the MIN
line, add oil through the filler A until
it reaches the MAX line.
The range between the MIN. and MAX.
marks corresponds to about 1 litre of
oil.
The oil level must never exceed the
MAX mark.
Engine oil consumption
The maximum engine oil consumption
is usually 400 grams every 1000 km.When the car is new, the engine needs
to be run in; therefore the engine oil
consumption can only be considered
stabilised after the first 5000 - 6000
km.
IMPORTANT The oil consumption
depends on driving style and the
conditions under which the car is used.
IMPORTANT After adding or changing
the oil, let the engine turn over for a few
seconds and wait a few minutes after
turning it off before you check the level.
