FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS
PRODUCTS WHICH MAY BE USED AND THEIR SPECIFICATIONS
Use
Lubricants for
petrol engines
Lubricants for
diesel engines
For regular operation of JTD versions fitted with DPF, use genuine lubricant only. In the event of an emergency, lacking the genuine
lubricant, top up just once with max. 0.5 l and go to Lancia Dealership as soon as possible
Should non-genuine products be used, lubricants with minimum ACEA A3 properties for petrol engines and ACEA B4 for Diesel en-
gines are tolerated; in this event top engine performance is not guaranteed.
Using low-quality products, not compliant with ACEA A3 and ACEA B4 properties and specifications could cause engine damages not
covered by warranty.
For very cold temperatures, consult Lancia Dealership for the proper Seleniaproduct to use.Original fluids and
