A few days ago i called a workshop in order to do a 30.000km. Service on my twinair 0.9 turbo. I made them clear that it was very important to use the correct Oil. No problem they Said. We will look in the database and find the right stuff for your car.

This morning i took the car to them and handed them a print that said Oil ACEA C3 9.555.35-S2 just to be sure they knew what to look for.

When I picked up the car again, i asked what type of Oil they used. Eni Oil they said for all cars. Okay what type then? They used the type their system said was needed for the car as it was very important that the car was still under warrenty.
They used Eni i sint 5w30. :-( WTF

When i look a the Oil finder on Eni's Web site the database tell's me Eni 5w40 is the Oil to used for twinair turbo. None of Eni's oils meet the 9.555.35S2 demand by fiat.

I will Call them monday morning to Change the Oil to Eni 5W40. Hope this will be okay?

Is it safe to drive around for the weekend on 5w30?

To confuse you even further, FIAT have apparently changed their recommendation to an 0W30 oil for the 2014 Euro6 TA engine.

Have a read of this thread in its entirety.

Personally I'd be happy to use it until you can get it changed; I'd just suggest not taking it over 4000rpm in the meantime.

I know it doesn't help you, but it's comforting to know that there are a---holes looking after cars in Scandinavia as well as here.
 
I wrote fiat support about the oil issue and go reply back yesterday. They said 5w30 was the wrong oil to use and warrenty would not be valid in case of engine failure if it they could prove wrong oil had been used. The correct oil to use is 5w40 as mentioned in the handbook.
The local workshop changed the oil today without any problems.
