The mechanic is absolutely wrong. You must use a 5W-40 C3 oil with the Fiat 9.55535-S2 specification, I use the Castrol Magnatec 5W-40 C3, which is cheap and easy to find, but any other brand with the correct specification is fine. A 0W-20 oil has insufficient pressure and film strength, and will lead to damage over time.
Reviews of spare parts for Fiat
I just ordered this turbo and have it going in my 2013 Fiat 500 Abarth along with the following new mods:
Price is great and is advertised as TD04 sized but oem fitment and comes with a calibrated wastegate so that saves even more money by not having to buy a forge unit.
Le avevo 4 stagioni sulla Fiat punto del 2008, la mia prima auto.
Mi sono trovato molto bene, l'ho tenuta dal 2019 al 2022, sono andato anche sulla neve in montagna, in nevicata piena, e ho avuto zero problemi.
Pennzoil Platinum Euro full synthetic 5W40 on my Abarth. Same weight as written on the engine oil cap and in the user's manual. 5l jugs easily available for $40 CAD plus HST.
Please spend the money on quality oil. Use synthetic, 5W-30 or 0W-40 is recommeneded. Most of us use 0W-40 now, since we've found that 0W-40 makes the engine quite a bit smoother in sound and keeps it quiet.
I have the turbo model. 5w-40 European Mobil 1.
I use Mobil 1 - 4 qts 5W-30.
Assim que comprei fiz:\n\n* Cabos e velas Magneti Marelli\n\nO problema \u00e9 que vou viajar para o Guaruj\u00e1 no m\u00eas que vem e o carro est\u00e1 apresentando \"falhas\". Mas essas falhas s\u00f3 acontecem quando eu ligo o carro depois de ter andado com o mesmo.
Dipende le dannate magneti Marelli sulle panda 169 duravano 2 anni e un pelo per passare la garanzia.
Stick with Mopar thermostat. I went off brand and it didn\u2019t work correctly.
