ENGINE OIL (fig. 5-6-7)
The engine oil should be checked with the
car on a level surface a few minutes (about
5) after the engine has been switched off.
Remove the dipstick (A), clean it, put it
back in completely, remove it and check that
the level is within the MIN and MAX
marks on the dipstick. The interval between
the MIN and MAX marks correspond to
about one litre of oil.
If the oil level is near or even below the
MIN mark, add oil through the filter neck
(B), until reaching the MAX mark.
IMPORTANT If a routine check reveals
that the level is above the MAX mark, con-
tact Alfa Romeo Authorised Services to have
the correct level restored.
IMPORTANT After topping up the oil,
before checking the level again, run the en-
gine a few seconds and wait for a few min-
utes ater stopping it.
