Specification and service info

[Vx gunmetal]

I am new to the site, so I may have missed them. but I can't seem to find any technical or service spec/information for ( specifically in my case) a vx coupe. For instance what grade of oil does the supercharger require ? spark plugs, oil engine and gearbox etc.

The supercharger requires an oil called tutella zc 90, which you can get from fiat / alfa dealers, or you can pick up the equivalent non tutella type. I currently use non-tutella stuff, I dont have the info to hand for what grade and type it is but ill check later. The engine should use another fiat thing - 20/60 hpx i think it is. The original spark plugs were of types : Champion N7Y, Bosch W6D, Marellia CW 78LP, with a gap of 0.6 to 0.7mm or so the manual tells me. Im currently using ngk v grooved plugs, type is bp6e.

I would have thought any gear oil would do -- - not aware there's any bronze inside so even hypoid stuff would be ok.

Which is what I'm going to end up using in mine.


Two penneth worth as usual .. .
