Fiat 500 motor oil specs here (European version)

[saaber1]

Info. from the owner's manual. 2.9 liters of oil.

I wonder what the US specs will be?

Oil changes every 30,000 km...not bad! Only thing is, with the ACEA C3 rating, it's a low SAPS oil. I was under the impression that the C3 category was mainly 5W-30?

Is Selenia/Petronas owned by Fiat? Not much info. on their website.

18,000 miles OCI in a high revving 4 banger on a little over 3 quarts of oil?
Not me!

30,000 km (18,750 miles) is the standard in Europe, however they all use "real" synthetics, not the Group III stuff that we call synthetic.

All the Renaults I lease in France also say 30,000 km OCI.

OTOH, sulphur levels are 10 ppm.

Use to be owned by FIAT, now owned by Petronas. The Viscosity Oil firm in IL was sold by Pennzoil to Selenia in 2000.

At 2.9 quarts, sure better hope you don't get an oil burner.

Reqarding the lower volume, just check the oil level regularly like most people on this site do anyways, top off as necesary. Using less oil contributes to a cleaner environment, and in low performance daily driven vehicles probably isnt detrimental. However, going over 10k miles on an oil change bothers me, as I like to make vehicles last as long as possible
