2023 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Maintenance Schedule

Here is the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Maintenance Schedule for 2023. You can discover all the information you need to maintain your Stelvio operating at its peak throughout the year in this handbook. Optimal performance, longevity, and a comfortable driving experience are all guaranteed by routine maintenance. This schedule will assist you in maintaining the excellence for which Alfa Romeo automobiles are renowned, from regular inspections to advised service intervals. Let’s get into the specifics so we can keep your Stelvio in top shape for the future. The 2023 Alfa Romeo Stelvio puts safety first, which is clear from the fact that it has a complete seat belt system that puts the safety of its passengers first. The Stelvio has advanced seat belt technology, like shoulder belts that can be adjusted for height and pre-tensioners that tighten the seat belts automatically in the event of a sudden stop or crash, limiting forward movement and the chance of harm. Also, warning systems tell both the driver and the passengers to put on their seat belts before starting a trip. This makes sure that safety is always the most important thing when driving. The addition of these seat belt improvements shows that the Stelvio is committed to protecting its passengers and encouraging safe driving. This gives everyone on board more peace of mind.

Maintenance Schedule

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 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 an authorized dealer of any small operating irregularities without waiting for the next service.

PERIODIC CHECKS
Every month or every 620 miles (1,000 km) or before long trips check and, if necessary, top off:

  • Engine coolant level.
  • Brake fluid level (if insufficient, see an authorized dealer as soon as possible).
  • Windshield washer fluid level.
  • Tire inflation pressure and condition.
  • Operation of lighting system (headlights, direction indicators, hazard warning lights, etc.).
  • direction indicators, hazard warning lights, etc.).
  • Operation of windshield washing/wiping system and positioning/wear of wiper blades.
  • Inspect the CV/Universal joints.
  • Oil consumption of the engine depends on conditions and driving style. For this reason, the engine oil level must be checked every 1,860 miles (3,000 km), and top off if necessary; for further information.

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 km) at sub-zero outside temperatures.
  • 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: 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 conditions of the accessory drive belts.
  • Check and, if necessary, change engine oil and replace oil filter.
  • Check and, if necessary, replace cabin air filter.
  • Check and, if necessary, replace 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 RPM. This type of vehicle use is considered Severe Duty.
