Click to expand... This is correct, but I wouldn't worry about the "genuine" stuff I'm not even sure that's what fiat use on cars that leave the factory. Any good quality oil of that specification will do the job so castrol, esso, shell, comma etc etc, even the cheap stuff in Asda isn't that bad If the last service was done at s generic car garage then it's highly likely it's got castrol in it and probably the wrong grade too
