OIL - Selenia 20K 10W40
Hi,
I have very recently bought my first Alfa ( an 03 166 2.5 V6 24v). I understand I need to give it Selenia 20K 10W40 oil, is this easy to pick up from most car shops, etc, are there any compatible alternatives that I can use and how much is a 5litre can cost ? Thanks DJ |

Fiat/Alfa only stockists.
If under warranty then using substitute could invalidate it. Check with Dealer. I paid £27 for 5L can, as against £10 /L can. -- Paul Woodsford Remove ****NOSPAMPLEASE**** to Reply "DJ" > wrote in message ... : Hi, : : I have very recently bought my first Alfa ( an 03 166 2.5 V6 24v). : I understand I need to give it Selenia 20K 10W40 oil, is this easy to pick : up from most car shops, etc, : are there any compatible alternatives that I can use and how much is a : 5litre can cost ? : : Thanks : : DJ : : --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

There is No Way that your warranty can be affected one iota by using a different make. What you Must observe is the Type of oil. Any Make 10W-40 Synthetic based for UK use. If you want the best performance then there is a base of people who would argue that Fully Synth oil 10W60 - such as Selenia Racing is used.

(Interestingly, so does the Ford dealer). The Alfa dealer told me it was virtualy impossible to get Selenia. Phil 156 V6 |

That's why I said check with dealer as the legalities of warranties is not
my special interest area.
