How to top up the engine oil on a 2008 Lancia Delta?

Model: Lancia Delta MK 3 - Years 2008-2014
Part: Engine oil

Here is a brief video summarising the key steps to correctly top up the engine oil on a 2008 Lancia Delta. Always remember that the engine oil you add must have the specific characteristics for your car. These are listed in the vehicle's user manual. After parking the car on a level surface, wait 10 minutes for the engine to cool down, then open the front bonnet, unscrew the oil filler cap, and check the level using the dipstick. Pour in the oil a little at a time, continuously checking the level. When it is very close to the maximum limit, you can replace the oil filler cap and close the bonnet.
