Alfa Romeo recommends changing your 2016 4C’s oil at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. No matter the mileage, your 4C may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Alfa Romeo recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, enjoy off-roading, or drive at low speeds for long distances. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Alfa Romeo 4C. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
