(2) For the 0.9 TwinAir versions, the following are essential to ensure correct operation: only use spark plugs of the same make and
type which are specially certified for these engines (see the information in the “Engine” paragraph in the “Technical specifications”
section); strictly comply with the spark plug replacement interval given in the Scheduled Servicing Plan; for spark plug replacement,
it is advisable to contact a Fiat Dealership.
(3) If the vehicle is mainly used for city driving or has an annual mileage of less than 10,000 km, the engine oil and engine oil filter
should be changed every 12 months.
(4) Engine oil and filter shall be changed when the corresponding warning light turns on (see chapter "Warning lights and Messages"),
or in any case every 2 years. If the car is used mainly for town driving, the engine oil and filter should be changed every 12 months.
(5) The actual interval for changing the engine oil and replacing the engine oil filter depends on the car usage conditions and is
signalled by the warning light or message (if present) in the instrument panel and must never exceed 24 months.
