Alfa Romeo Stelvio Oil Type Finder

Anyone who christens the SUV Stelvio, the Italian name for the Stelvio Pass, wants to aim high. And Alfa Romeo did that in 2017 with the first SUV. Now Alfa, like Audi with the Q5, BMW with the X3 and Porsche with the Macan, has launched a sporty SUV into the race for buyers' favor.

Buyers were immediately in favor. Not difficult to understand why. The 4.69 meter long Alfa Stelvio, which is manufactured in Cassino south of Rome, is neat on the road. Character grille, character line, character rear. The Scudetto, the shield-shaped chrome part at the front, makes many other SUVs look old or staid when parked next to the Stelvio. Or both together.

And when it comes to handling, the Alfa Romeo Stelvio is a bit ahead of many other SUVs with the almost perfectly balanced weight distribution between the front and rear axles and the relatively low weight. Also in detail. Can shift paddles behind the leather steering wheel be made more sensual? The small bulges on the steering wheel are in exactly the right position for the ball of the hand to quickly become one with the precise and relatively direct steering in the driver-oriented cockpit.

Money Saving Fact: Changing the oil in your Alfa Romeo Stelvio will definitely be the cheapest way. However most people don't want the hassle of getting all oily and dirty. But you can still save money even if you use a local garage or Alfa Romeo dealership.

But make sure that you buy an Alfa Romeo approved engine oil so there are no problems with your factory warranty.

Regularly checking and changing your Alfa Romeo Stelvio engine oil is really important. Every time you start and run your car, very fine by-products from the combustion in the engine will be collected in the engine oil. This is one of the reasons why over time the oil goes black. If these contaminants build up too much and exceed the capacity of the oil it can have a negative impact on your car’s overall efficiency and actually effect its performance as it creates sludge and increased wear in the engine block.

Every engine oil will have its viscosity grade labelled on the packaging. This will look something like 0W-20, 5W-30 or 5W-40. This grading is used to measure how thick / fluid the oil is and help ensure you buy the right oil for your car. The lower the viscosity grade of the oil, the more fluid and thinner it will be than those with a high grade (higher numbers) which will be much less running and thick.

So which engine oil should you buy for your Alfa Romeo Stelvio? Whether you are topping up your Alfa Romeo Stelvio oil or doing a full change of your Alfa Romeo Stelvio's oil it is really important that you use the correct grade of oil.
