Why check on oil & oil filter?
Oil:
• Reduces friction,
• Limits wear on moving parts in your engine (rods, pistons, etc.),
• Allows proper engine cooling,
• Keeps the engine clean,
• Helps to keep a watertight seal between the cylinder bore and the piston,
• Protects against corrosion,
• Ensures engine start-up in all temperatures.
New generation synthetic oils also allow you to:
• Reduce your CO2 emissions by reducing your fuel consumption.
• Optimise the operation of your engine's filtration systems like the catalytic converter and the particulate filter.
Oil filter:
• Keeps the oil as clean as possible,
• Traps all dust, combustion residue and abrasive particles generated by the normal wear of engine parts,
• Helps to keep the oil cool.
Regarding engine oil
• Before checking the oil, make sure you have parked your car on a level surface
• Turn off the engine, wait 5 minutes and, minding the heat, check the oil inside the engine.
• Do not add oil with features that are different from those already in the engine
• See a Fiat Retailer for replacement and the correct disposal methods
