2021 Alfa Romero Gulia

[JHogan]

Good afternoon. I Recently and by recently I mean 4 hours ago bought a 2021 Alfa Romero Gulia with only 7k on the clock. It does not have an owners manual with it. I was wondering what oil this vehicle requires, or what people suggest running in it. It has the 2.0 Turbo engine in it and calls for 0W30. I'm going to guess something like Mobil one ESP or equivalent is what I'm looking for?

BITOG has turned into the Hogwarts sorting hat lately of PCMOs.

Hmmmm, Alfa Guilia... European, yes. Passionate. Temperamental...

PENTOSIN!

I have a paperback manual in my dash but never even touched it so far… I'm just carrying it to use it as a fire starter in case of stucking in middle of nowhere with out of gas and it's freezing cold outside. Google it for manual and you will find the official one from Alfa Romeo.

Bravo! It needs 0W-30 Castrol or equivalent. I'd like one of these. Pictures pls.

Nice, and a unique shade of red that looks great.

I've always wanted an Alfa. Beautiful car. Congrats!

Pennzoil Platinum Euro LX 0W-30 - this is exactly the oil specced for your vehicle.

Your manual lists API SP 0w30, which leads many to land on M1 0w30 AFE. Is Euro LX SP now? It didn’t used to be IIRC.

Not really seeing what the issue is. You said it calls for 0W30 so 0W30 is what you should get

Well, the issue is, now that I've been dabbling, is that The car calls for MS-13340. And I'm having difficulties finding options that have that rating.

The Mopar 0w30 meets it but it is a pain to find at a decent price. Many owners go with API SP and 0w30 and leave it at that.

Minimum HTHS has to be 3.5, and the oil has to be mid-saps. Basically, it calls for an ACEA C3 oil with the appropriate approvals.
