IMPORTANT After topping up, let

the engine turn for a few seconds

and wait a few minutes after stop-

ping it before you check the level.

Engine oil consumption

Max. engine oil consumption is

usually 400 grams every 1000 km.

When the car is new, the engine

needs to run in, therefore the engine

oil consumption can only be consid-

ered stabilised after the first 5000 -

6000 km.

ENGINE OIL 

(fig. 7-8-9-10-11-12)

Check engine oil with the car on

level ground and while the engine is

still warm (approximately five min-

utes after stopping the engine).

Remove dipstick A and clean it,

than plunge it down and check

whether the oil level is included

between the MIN and MAX refer-

ence lines on the dipstick. The gap

between the MIN and MAX refer-

ence lines corresponds to approxi-

mately one litre of oil.

Do not add oil with dif-

ferent specifications (class,

viscosity, etc.) from the oil

already in the engine.

If the oil level is near or even below

the MIN line, pour in oil through the

filler hole B, until it reaches the

MAX line.

IMPORTANT If during a routine

check you will find that the oil level

is above the MAX reference line,

contact a Lancia Dealership to

have the proper level restored.

Be very careful under the

bonnet: you risk burning

yourself. Remember that

when the engine is hot, the fan

can start up and cause injuries.
