I'm having the 80K mile service done next week, any ideas on whats included in the 80k service other than oil/filter ?

Also is it important to insist on Selina oil ? Shes been serviced at a main dealer up to now so I guess Selina would have used.

Again thanks in advance for any advice.

The Alfa garages recommend Selenia becuse it is owned by FIAT ... truth is that Selenia is crap oil (in my opinion) ... choose som other good brand, I use Agip and that works for me, better than the Selenia at least ...

If you have the service manual it should detial the 80k requirements.

I have for the past 2 oil changes used Maxol 10w/40 oil. €23 for 5 litres

Why do you deem Selenia to be "crap oil"? :rolleyes: :)
By a very simple fact, when I had oil changes with the Selenia Oil I had to refill about 2L all in all before the next Oil change ... I then wondered because it is not normal to me to refill that much oil within 20.000 Km, so I changed for Agip and now I refill less than 1L Oil from change to change ... I used Selenia 5W30 and 10W40 back and now I use Agip 5W40 ... if you ask me I'll claim that the Selenia Oil either heats to much and evaporates, or it just pi55es out of the engine somewhere ... crap Oil ;)

And besides that the Selenia is far to expensive compared to other well known brands as Shell Oil, Castrol, Elf, Agip etc ...

Just had service done @ Intaservices Leicester (alfa specialists).

Thankfully nothing serious needed doing, apart from a small oil leak possibly from 5th gear housing, but Dave (I think?) tightened up the bolts which hopefully may cure it !

Would definately recommend Intaservices , they really know their stuff, plus theyre cheaper than alfa main dealer. Was £70 for 84k service which aint bad.
