EngineCAUTION!
Car maintenance should be done at
a LANCIA Dealership. For routine
and minor maintenance operations
you wish to carry out yourself, we
do recommend you have the proper
equipment, genuine LANCIA spare
parts and the necessary fluids; do
not however carry out these opera-
tions if you have no experience.
SAE Grade 5W-30 SELENIA MUL-
TIPOWER C3 fully synthetic engine
oil that meets FIAT Qualification
9.55535 API SM/CF, ACEA C3 or
equivalent.
The engine oil filler cap also shows the
recommended engine oil viscosity for
your engine. For information on en-
gine oil filler cap location, refer to
“Engine Compartment” in “Main-
taining Your Vehicle” for further in-
formation. SYNTHETIC ENGINE OILS
You may use synthetic engine oils pro-
vided the recommended oil quality
requirements are met, and the recom-
mended maintenance intervals for oil
and filter changes are followed.
MATERIALS ADDED TO
ENGINE OILS
Do not add supplemental materials,
other than leak detection dyes, to the
engine oil. Engine oil is an engineered
product, and its performance may be
impaired by supplemental additives.
DISPOSING OF USED
ENGINE OIL AND FILTERS
Care should be taken in disposing of
used engine oil and oil filters from
your vehicle. Used oil and oil filters,
indiscriminately discarded, can pres-
ent a problem to the environment.
Contact your local authorized dealer,
service station, or governmental
agency for advice on how and where
used oil and oil filters can be safely
discarded in your area.
ENGINE OIL FILTER
The engine oil filter should be re-
placed with a new filter at every oil
change.
Engine Oil Filter Selection
The manufacturer's engines have a
full-flow type disposable oil filter. Use
a filter of this type for replacement.
The quality of replacement filters var-
ies considerably. Only high-quality
filters should be used to assure most
efficient service. LANCIA engine oil
filters are high-quality oil filters and
are recommended.
ENGINE AIR CLEANER
FILTER
Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule”
for the proper maintenance intervals.
WARNING!
The air induction system (air
cleaner, hoses, etc.) can provide a
measure of protection in the case of
engine backfire. Do not remove the
