My best engineer has an Alfa thing, and drives (I think 147 diesels).

Nearly has me looking at the classifieds for them.


Very nice, but you haven't posted the lubricant section out of the manual.

I've looked into this extensively and as far as oil goes, the only available oil in the U.S. that meets the Fiat spec is Pennzoil Platinum Euro LX. Filter seems pretty standard; Fram 10060, Mobil 113, Purolator 12222.

Oil & Filter - 1 Year or 10k miles
Air Filter - 3 Years or 30k miles
Fuel Filter (secondary) - 1 year or 10k miles
Brake Fluid - 2 Years, regardless of mileage
Cabin Filter - 2 Years or 20k miles
Spark Plugs - 3 Years or 30k miles
Coolant - 15 Years or 150k miles
Serpentine Belt - 4 Years or 36k miles

Thanks for that

How much range do you have if you use the Mopar spec ?

Or are they not 0W ?

So far I've only seen the Mopar spec on 5w30 Pennzoil Platinum (non-Euro). A slightly detuned version of this motor is available in certain Jeep models for '19. They carry the Mopar spec and require a 5w oil. This is pure speculation, but it seems as though Fiat doesn't trust their Alfa owners to let the vehicle come up to temperature before throttling down so perhaps the 0w requirements is to help combat this?
 
I've driven just about every fun car there is, and I feel like I've missed out. This is one I'll have to try.

Note: I work for a very wealthy guy with a fleet of exotic cars. Plus I often rent 2 different (and sometimes interesting) cars per week.

I post reviews on the ones I find interesting or the ones that break down.... (recent Subaru rental)

I've even driven the La Ferrari.

Nice car and good for you.
I hope that it proves a good and reliable ride for you.
I like the look of this car.
 
I see a few of them here in Colorado.
Very cool car.
Except for one driver that needs to get smacked.
He put a bumper sticker on the rear.
You dont put a bumper sticker on an Alfa!
That's like drawing a mustache on the Mona Lisa.

I wanted to see the AR (which is sweet!) and this caught my eye.

Lived in IL all my driving life and never had a front plate. Up to like 12 cars now. We just bought a new car and I made sure the dealer didn't put one on. He said he does get that request occasionally.
