ABARTH Oil CHange

Post by sptcoupe »

A note to other ABARTH owners. Today I had the first oil change, and when I picked the car up, the service manager looked at the bill and told me they would have to drain the oil and replace the filter, because they had used to oil they normally use for non-ABARTH 500s (naturally aspirated), not the special synthetic required by the ABARTH. He was very apologetic and gave me the oil change on the house. But the lesson is that the ABARTH needs a synthetic oil (same weight as the normally aspirated engine), and your dealer service guys may not be aware of that yet.
