SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct servicing is crucial for guaranteeing a long life for the vehicle under the best conditions. For this reason, Alfa Romeo has planned a series of checks and services for your vehicle at fixed intervals based on distance and time, as described in the Scheduled Servicing Plan. Before each service, it is always necessary to carefully follow the instructions in the Scheduled Servicing Plan (e.g. periodically check the level of fluids, tire pressure, etc.). Scheduled Servicing is offered by an authorized dealer according to a set time schedule. If, during each operation, in addition to the ones scheduled, the need arises for further replacements or repairs, these may be carried out with the owner’s explicit consent only.
Note: Scheduled Servicing intervals are required by the manufacturer. Failure to have them carried out may invalidate the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. You are advised to inform your authorized dealer of any small operating irregularities without waiting for the next service.
Periodic Checks
Every month or every 600 miles ( 1,000 km) or before long trips check and, if necessary, top off:
- Engine coolant level.
- Brake fluid level (if insufficient, see your authorized dealer as soon as possible).
- Windshield washer fluid level.
- Tire inflation pressure and condition.
- Operation of the lighting system (headlights, direction indicators, hazard warning lights, etc.).
- Operation of windshield washing/wiping system and positioning/wear of wiper blades.
- Every 2,000 miles ( 3,000 km), check and top off if required:
- Engine oil level.
Heavy Usage Of The Vehicle
If the vehicle is used under one of the following conditions:
- Dusty roads.
- Short, repeated journeys less than 4 miles (7-8 km) at sub-zero outside temperatures.
- The engine often idling or driving long distances at low speeds or long periods of inactivity.
- In the event of a long period of inactivity.
The following checks must be carried out more often than indicated in the Scheduled Servicing Plan:
- Check cleanliness of hood and liftgate locks, cleanliness, and lubrication of linkage.
- Visually inspect conditions of the engine, transmission, pipes, and hoses (exhaust/fuel system/brakes) and rubber elements (sleeves/bushes, etc.).
- Check battery charge and battery fluid level (electrolyte).
- Visually inspect the conditions of the accessory drive belts.
- Check and, if necessary, change the engine oil and replace the oil filter.
- Check and, if necessary, replace the cabin air filter.
- Check and, if necessary, replace the air cleaner.
Severe Duty All Models
Change Engine Oil at 4,000 miles (6,500 km) if the vehicle is operated in a dusty and off-road environment or is operated predominately at idle or only very low engine RPMs. This type of vehicle use is considered Severe Duty.

- Top up using the fluids indicated in the “Fluids And Lubricants” section of the “Technical Specifications” chapter only after checking that the system is intact.
- If the oil degradation ratio (data collectable from the diagnostic device) is more than 80% (oil quality less than 20%) engine oil and filter replacement is recommended.
- The actual interval for changing the engine oil and replacing the engine oil filter depends on the vehicle usage conditions and is signaled by the warning light or message in the instrument panel. In all cases, never exceed 1 year/10,000 miles (16,000 km).
- Areas that are not dusty: recommended maximum mileage 36,000 miles (60,000 km). Regardless of the mileage, the belt must be replaced every 4 years. Dusty areas and/or demanding use of the vehicle (cold climates, town use, long periods of idling): advised maximum mileage of 18,000 miles (30,000 km). Regardless of the mileage, the belt must be replaced every 2 years.
- If the vehicle is used in dusty areas, this cleaner must be replaced every 10,000 miles (16,000 km).
- The brake fluid replacement has to be done every two years, irrespective of the mileage.
- If the vehicle is used in dusty areas, this cleaner must be replaced every 10,000 miles (16,000 km). *The spark plug change interval is mileage-based only. Yearly intervals do not apply.
