some places list 0w40 and some list 5w40.
I'm a little low and need a top up, which is the one to go for?

I'm sure both are acceptable, but fully synthetic is a must.
My monkey uses 5W40 in mine, but as you're in the frozen north perhaps 0W would be better.

I'm not in guarantee!

I bet half the people on here with this engine, serviced at fiat, had their engines tested it won't have the proper oil in it
Depends what you want from it? Or just stick to the spec which the manufacturer says is suitable! If you don't want to pay selenia prices get one that meat fiats spec like shell helix. If you go thinner it will burn it more quickly but sound silky soft. If you buy thicker it will last but take longer to flow as it needs to warm up to move around. If you care go fully synthetic but why change the spec that the manufacturer suggests?

well as its getting older its losing more oil than it used to. not worrying amounts, half a litre in 8000 miles.
I've had cars that were doing a litre a month before now

Mines the tjet sport too haven't had it long enough to even check the oil regularly. Wonder what mine consumes although it has only done 12000. I have found they all do a bit, especially the 20 vavlers. I believe it's down to the piston rings letting a bit past them and thinner oil (lower viscosity) passes though easier. I guess I should think about what I'm going to use. Selenia is so expensive!
6 years old, roughly 13k miles per year, has never needed to be topped up between services.

mine would go from max to just above min in that time frame but its increased a touch. I'm not overly worried, I wouldn't call this a drink problem. mines 5 years old about to hit 60k
It's not fully synthetic anyway I used it on my stilos but it did meet some spec of fiats. I was just meaning that I'm sure selenia is not the only oil to meet the spec for the 1.4 tjet engine that fiat specifies
It's not the only one
for example
