Hi everyone,
I have just signed up to hopefully get an answer to my worry about the oil that was used by my local Fiat garage during an oil/filter change.
In short, I've been made aware of the importance of changing the oil frequently in my Punto Evo Multair engine (thanks to this forum). Unfortunately in my cars lifespan I have replaced 2 units so far and hoping I won't need to do it again
Today I took my car to get it's oil and filter changed and got it back this afternoon. I stated my car needed a certain type of oil and to be careful when doing the job. On return, I checked the invoice and a different type of oil that is recommended was used, which is very worrying. I was wondering if some clever person can advise me if I need to take it back to get changed again?
The oil that they have used is Shell Helix Ultra ECT C2/C3 0w-30. In my manual (and recently up to this point) I have used Castrol or Selenia 5W-40 C3.
Is the type of oil used by the garage an alternative for my usual oil or should I be taking my car back ASAP to get it done again? I'd really appreciate any input on this one as quick as possible.
My car details: Punto Evo Sporting, 1.4 Multiair 2010
Thanks everyone!
