oil change Lancia Delta 2010 Owner handbook (in English)

12GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR
Light stays on: low engine oil pressure
(red)
Flashing light: exhausted engine oil
(only Multijet versions with DPF - red)
When the ignition key is turned to MAR (ON), the warn-
ing light switches on and should go out as soon as the en-
gine is started.
1. Low engine oil pressure
The warning light turns on and stays on constantly (for
versions/markets, where provided) along with the mes-
sage on the display when the system detects that engine
oil pressure is low.
v
Exhausted engine oil should be replaced as
soon as possible after the warning light comes
on, never more than 500 km after the warn-
ing light first comes on. Failure to change the oil with-
in the first 500 km may result in severe damage to
the engine and will result in forfeiture of the war-
ranty. Remember that when the warning light flash-
es, it does not mean that the level of engine oil is low,
so if the light flashes you must not top up.
If the warning light vturns on when the
vehicle is travelling (on certain versions to-
gether with the message on the display) stop the
engine immediately and contact a Lancia Dealership.
2. Exhausted engine oil
(only Multijet versions with DPF)
The warning light will flash and a specific message will
appear on the display (for versions/markets, where pro-
vided). The warning light may flash in the following ways,
depending on the version:
– for 1 minute every two hours;
– for 3 minute cycles with the warning light off for inter-
vals of 5 seconds until oil is changed.After the initial warning, each time the engine is started up,
the warning light will continue to flash in the above men-
tioned modes, until the oil is changed. A specific message
will appear on the display (for versions/markets, where pro-
vided) in addition to the warning light.
If the warning light flashes, this does not mean that the
car is defective but simply informs the driver that it is now
necessary to change the oil as a result of regular vehicle use.
Note that engine oil is exhausted faster under the follow-
ing circumstances:
– use of the vehicle prevalently for city driving, requiring
more frequent regeneration of DPF
– use of the vehicle for short drives, in which the engine does
not have time to reach its regular operating temperature
– repeated interruption of the regeneration process, signalled
by the DPF warning light coming on.

(**) If the car is mainly used in cities or less than 10,000 km a year, change the engine oil and filter every 12 months.
For 1.4 Turbo Jet versions, in order to guarantee correct operation and prevent serious damage to the engine, it is essential to ob-
serve the following:
- only use spark plugs specifically certified for Turbo Jet engines; all spark plugs should be of the same type and brand (see the “En-
gine” paragraph);
- carefully observe the spark plug replacement intervals detailed in the Scheduled Service Plan;
- it is advisable to have this performed at a Lancia Dealership.

ENGINE COOLANT B-fig. 1-2-3
The coolant level must be checked when the engine is cold
and must be between the MIN and MAX lines on the ves-
sel. If the level is low, slowly add a mixture of 50% dis-
tilled water and 50% PARAFLU UP of the PETRONAS
LUBRICANTS Group through the filler neck until the lev-
el reaches MAX. The mixture of 50% PARAFLU UP and
distilled water provides protection from freezing down to
a temperature of –35°C. For particularly harsh environ-
mental conditions use a mixture of 60% PARAFLU UP
and 40% distilled water.Proceed very carefully inside the engine com-
partment when the engine is hot: risk of
burns. Remember that the fan may start up
if the engine is hot: risk of injury. Pay attention to
scarves, ties and other loose fitting garments: they
might get caught by moving components.
Don’t add any oil with different specifications
to those of the existing engine oil.
The exhausted engine oil and the replaced oil
filter contain substances that may be dan-
gerous for the environment. It is advisable
to have oil and filters changed by a Lancia Deal-
ership where they will be disposed of according to
the law.
PARAFLU UP antifreeze is used in the engine
cooling system. Use fluid of the same type
contained in the cooling system for top-ups.
PARAFLU UP may not be mixed with other types
of fluids. If this accidentally occurs, do not start the
engine and contact a Lancia Dealership.
