Procedure for reading the engine oil level
with the engine running and idling
Proceed as follows:
with the car stopped, parked on level
ground, run the engine until the second
oil temperature notch lights on the
display on the instrument panel;
idle the engine and wait at least 1
minute for the correct reading.
WARNING If the indication is not correct
after the procedure, contact an Alfa
Romeo Dealership.
WARNING The oil dipstick in the engine
compartment, on versions with 2.2 JTD
engine, must be used ONLY if the oil level
sensor is faulty. The latter condition is
indicated by the symbol which will
appear on the instrument panel.
The manual engine oil level checking
procedure must be carried out, when
necessary, on a cold engine only.
Never attempt to carry out the manual
engine oil checking procedure (using the
dipstick) with the engine hot. Contact
with the surrounding hot engine parts
could cause burns.
This operation is permitted only for the
time actually needed to restore correct
operation of the oil level sensor at an
Alfa Romeo dealership.
