Alfa Romeo ENGINE OIL Guide
The engine oil level can be seen on the instrument cluster display every time the engine is started, or on the Information and Entertainment system display by activating on the main menu (MENU button) the following functions in sequence: “Vehicle Information”; “Engine Oil”.
Check on the display using the 6 notches that the oil level is between the MIN and MAX level: 1 notch MIN level, 6 notches MAX level.
NOTE:
Use care when filling under hood fluids such as engine oil, windshield washer fluid, antifreeze etc. to minimize spillage onto the top of the engine. Any excess fluid that is spilt onto the top of the engine should be removed using compressed air or an absorbent cloth.
If the oil level is close to or below the MIN mark, add oil gradually through the filler, (refer to “Top-Up And Oil Level Indication Update On Display” in this section) considering that each notch shown on the display corresponds to approximately 8.8 fl oz (250 ml).
The oil level can also be checked manually on 2.9L Engines.
CAUTION!
Make sure not to add too much oil when topping off the engine. Engine oil in excess may damage the engine. Have the vehicle checked. Never exceed the MAX level when topping off engine oil. It is advisable to check the oil level in intermediate steps using the oil dipstick (2.9L Engine Only).
CAUTION!
The oil level is not refreshed immediately on the display after topping off. Consequently, wait for the oil level to be refreshed on the display and see the following procedures.
NOTE:
Always reinstall the oil cap and tighten it to proper torque whenever it is removed. Never run the engine with the cap removed as this could cause oil to leak from the engine.
Manual Oil Level Checking Procedure — 2.9L Engine
Check that the oil level is between the MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick, clean it with a lint-free cloth and reinsert it. Extract the dipstick again and check that the level is between the MIN and MAX marks.
Top-Up And Oil Level Indication Update On Display —2.9L Engine
If an engine oil top-off is needed, to ensure the correct indication of the oil level on the display, proceed with the following process:
- Leave the car on flat ground with the engine running for approximately five minutes (temperature higher than 198°F (90°C) and shut the engine off.
- Wait for five minutes, turn the ignition to the ON mode without starting the engine and wait for a few seconds.
NOTE:
If the level indication is not updated after the previously described procedure, repeat the process, shut the engine off and wait another five minutes before starting it again. If the indication is not updated after the second start, contact an authorized dealer.
Top-Up And Oil Level Indication Update On Display —2.0L Engine
If an engine oil top-off is needed, to ensure the correct indication of the oil level on the display, proceed with the following process:
- Leave the car on flat ground with the engine running for approximately five minutes (temperature higher than 176°F (80°C) and shut the engine off.
- Start the engine again and idle it for about two minutes.
NOTE:
If you have added the specified amount of oil and the indicator is not reading “Full”, please contact an authorized dealer.
WARNING!
If the engine oil is being topped up, wait for the engine to cool down before loosening the filler cap, particularly for vehicles with aluminium caps (if equipped). WARNING: risk of burns!
CAUTION!
The oil level must never exceed the MAX mark.
If the MAX mark is exceeded (the last notch on the right turns red) after the fill-up, go to an authorized dealer as soon as possible to have the oil in excess removed.
Do not add oil with specifications different from those of the oil already in the engine.
Used engine oil and oil filters contain substances which are harmful to the environment. To change the oil and filters, we advise you to contact an authorized dealer.
ENGINE COOLANT
If the level is too low, remove the cap of the reservoir and add the fluid described on page 310.
WASHER FLUID FOR WINDSHIELD/HEADLIGHTS
The windshield and headlights washer fluid reservoir has a telescopic filler.
If the level is too low, remove the reservoir cap and lift the filler. Then, add the fluid described on page 310.
NOTE:
Use care when filling under hood fluids such as engine oil, windshield washer fluid, antifreeze etc. to minimize spillage onto the top of the engine. Any excess fluid that is spilt onto the top of the engine should be removed using compressed air or an absorbent cloth.
NOTE:
The headlight washing system will not work if the liquid level is low (as indicated by the symbol on the instrument cluster display). On vehicles equipped with headlight washers, there is a reference notch on the dipstick: ONLY the windshield/rear window washer operates with the level below this reference.
BRAKE FLUID
Check that the fluid is at the maximum level. If the fluid level in the tank is low, contact an authorized dealer to have the system checked.

USEFUL ADVICE FOR EXTENDING THE LIFE OF YOUR BATTERY
To avoid draining your battery and make it last longer, observe the following instructions:
- When you park the car, ensure that the doors and trunk are closed properly to prevent any lights from remaining inside the passenger’s compartment.
- Do not keep accessories (e.g. radio, hazard warning lights, etc.) switched on for a long time when the engine is not running.
- Before performing any operation on the electrical system, disconnect the negative battery cable.
If you wish to install electrical accessories after purchasing the car that require a permanent electrical supply (e.g. alarm, etc.), or accessories which influence the electrical supply requirements, contact an authorized dealer, whose qualified staff will evaluate the overall electrical consumption.
CAUTION!
If the charge level remains under 50% for a long time, the battery may be damaged by sulphation, reducing its capacity and efficiency during a vehicle start. The battery is also more prone to the risk of freezing (at temperatures as high as 14°F (-10°C).
NOTE:
After the battery is disconnected, the steering must be initialized. The warning light on the instrument panel switches on to indicate this. To carry out this procedure, simply turn the steering wheel from one end to the other, and then turn it back to the central position.
