Engine Oil Selection
For engine oil selection ð page 280.
American Petroleum Institute (API) Approved Engine Oil
These symbols mean that the oil has been certified by the API. The manufacturer only recommends API trademark oils.
The API Starburst trademark certifies 0W-20, 0W-30 and 5W-30 engine oils.
The API Donut trademark certifies 0W-40 and 5W-40 engine oil.
CAUTION!
Do not use chemical flushes in your engine oil as the chemicals can damage your engine. Such damage is not covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Synthetic Engine Oils
Your engine was designed for synthetic engine oils, only use synthetic API-approved engine oils.
Synthetic engine oils which do not have both the correct API trademark and the correct SAE viscosity grade numbers should not be used.
Materials Added To Engine Oil
The manufacturer strongly recommends against the addition of any additives (other than leak detection dyes) to the engine oil. Engine oil is an engineered product and its performance may be impaired by supplemental additives.
Disposing Of Used Engine Oil And Oil Filters
Care should be taken in disposing of used engine oil and oil filters from your vehicle. Used oil and oil filters, indiscriminately discarded, can present a problem to the environment. Contact an authorized dealer, service station or governmental agency for advice on how and where used oil and oil filters can be safely discarded in your area.
ENGINE OIL FILTER
The engine oil filter should be replaced with a new filter at every engine oil change.
Engine Oil Filter Selection
A full-flow type disposable oil filter should be used for replacement. The quality of replacement filters varies considerably. Only high-quality Mopar® certified filters should be used. If a Mopar® Engine Oil Filter is unavailable, only use filters that meet or exceed SAE/USCAR-36 Filter Performance requirements.
ENGINE AIR CLEANER FILTER
For the proper maintenance intervals ð page 236.
WARNING!
The air induction system (air cleaner, hoses, etc.) can provide a measure of protection in the case of engine backfires. Do not remove the air induction system (air cleaner, hoses, etc.) unless such removal is necessary for repair or maintenance. Make sure that no one is near the engine compartment before starting the vehicle with the air induction system (air cleaner, hoses, etc.) removed. Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury.

FAQs
The 2024 Alfa Romeo Tonale utilizes synthetic engine oil, recommended for its performance and longevity.
The recommended viscosity grade for the engine oil in the 2024 Alfa Romeo Tonale is typically 0W-20 or 5W-30, as specified by the manufacturer.
Alfa Romeo recommends changing the engine oil in the Tonale approximately every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, depending on driving conditions and usage.
The 2024 Alfa Romeo Tonale may use a specific type of automatic transmission fluid (ATF) recommended by the manufacturer. It’s advisable to consult the owner’s manual for precise details.
The transmission fluid level should be checked regularly, typically during routine maintenance intervals, to ensure proper function and longevity of the transmission system.
The Tonale likely requires a specific type of coolant, such as ethylene glycol-based coolant, to maintain optimal engine temperature and prevent overheating.
Alfa Romeo typically recommends flushing and replacing the coolant in the Tonale every two to three years to prevent corrosion and maintain cooling system efficiency.
The Tonale may require specific additives for its fluids, such as those designed to improve engine performance or protect against wear and corrosion. Consult the owner’s manual for recommendations.
The Tonale may require a specific type of brake fluid, such as DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid, to ensure proper brake system function and safety.
Brake fluid should be inspected regularly and replaced as needed, typically every two years, to maintain optimal brake performance and safety.
The Tonale may require a specific type of power steering fluid, such as automatic transmission fluid (ATF) or hydraulic fluid, depending on the steering system design.
It’s advisable to check the power steering fluid level during routine maintenance intervals and top it up as needed to ensure proper steering system function.
Depending on the drivetrain configuration, the Tonale may have a separate fluid for its all-wheel-drive system, which should be inspected and replaced according to manufacturer recommendations.
The Tonale may use a specific type of differential fluid, such as synthetic gear oil, to lubricate its differential components and ensure smooth operation.
Differential fluid should be checked periodically and replaced according to manufacturer recommendations, typically every 30,000 to 50,000 miles, depending on driving conditions.
When handling fluids in the Tonale, it’s essential to follow proper safety precautions, such as wearing protective gloves and eyewear, to prevent skin contact and eye irritation.
