FIAT Panda Classic - Manual (Page 164)

If the oil level is near or even below the
MIN mark, add oil through the filler neck
A, until reaching the MAX mark.
Oil level shall never exceed the MAX
mark.
ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION
Max engine oil consumption is usually 400
grams every 1000 km.
When the car is new, the engine needs
to run in, therefore the engine oil con-
sumption can only be considered stabilised
after the first 5,000 ÷ 6,000 km.
IMPORTANT The oil consumption de-
pends on driving style and the conditions
under which the car is used.
IMPORTANT After adding or changing
the oil, let the engine turn over for a few
seconds and wait a few minutes after turn-
ing it off before you check the level.
ENGINE OIL fig. 4, 5 and 6
Check the oil level a few minutes (about
5) after the engine has stopped, with the
car parked on level ground.
Check the level is within the MIN and
MAX marks on the dipstick B.
The interval between the MIN and MAX
marks corresponds to about one litre of
oil.
