Refill with Oil and Check for Leaks
❒ Pour oil through the filler hole and in-

stall the filler cap.

For the approximate capacity of the oil,
refer to the “Capacities” item in the
“SPECIFICATIONS” section.

❒ Start the engine and look carefully for

leaks at the oil filter and drain plug. Run
the engine at various speeds for at least
5 minutes.

❒ Stop the engine and wait about 5 min-

utes. Check the oil level again and add
oil if necessary. Check for leaks again.

IMPORTANT
❒ When replacing the oil filter, it is rec-

ommended that you use a genuine
Fiat replacement filter. If you use an af-
termarket filter, make sure it is of
equivalent quality and follow the man-
ufacturer’s instructions.

❒ Oil leaks from around the oil filter or

drain plug indicate incorrect installation
or gasket damage. If you find any leaks
or are not sure that the filter has been
properly tightened, have the vehicle in-
spected by your Fiat Dealership.
