Re: 20v oil change

fiat sold FL (Fiat Lubrificanti)who make selenia years ago, since then it has changed hands 3 times. in my opinon it was never a good choice because you pay top price but dont get a better oil. fiat only recommended it when they owned the company, not because the oil was in any way more suitable for fiat cars.

you can use any 10w40 semi synthetic or fully synthetic oil. i recommend castrol gtx magnatec because it doesn't cost the earth but is a guaranteed good quality oil.

Re: 20v oil change

I use Magnatec 10W40 and the car is now at 124,000 miles and no problems yet.
I do change the oil every 6K though...

.... but it does not burn any, even though it regularly runs at nearly max speed....
