Michael, funnily enough, there is no mention of the 595 needing a 6K oil and filter change in the handbook. We all know that the 595 and esseesse should have identical servicing requirements but what about the less informed 595 owner?
Going by the book the 595 variants have the same servicing intervals as the std 135 NP A500. Fiat really need to start adding an addendum to their documentation because even my dealer, despite knowing all the technical facts, has said that it is a grey area, and we know there are dealers who are not switched on who would rely purely on the info as presented.
That is surprising Tony - so are you going to stick with the 6k or the 9k oil service intervals ?
As always very much appreciate your posts
On the US A500 they have 8K but I haven't checked the Fiat 500 Turbo model which would be equivalent to the output from the standard A500. The Garrett turbo on the A500 is less stressed than the IHI for the equivalent outputs but produces higher torque levels which wouldn't do the gearbox any favours.
Have you come across what's used as the factory fill oil in the A500 ? Had a quick look 'elsewhere' but didn't come across it.
