The short answer

Which oil does a Fiat 500 take?

The oil your Fiat 500 needs depends on its engine and when it was built. Below is what the carmaker lists for each 500 engine — 2 generations and 7 engine types in our table — and the oils we sell that state it: NAPA from our Bulwell shelf, plus Castrol, Mobil and Valvoline delivered next day.

  • 500 500 Hybrid (2026) (2026–now) — petrol: Fiat 9.55535-DM1 (0W-20)
  • 500 312 (2008–2024) — petrol: Fiat 9.55535-S2 (5W-40), Fiat 9.55535-GS1 (0W-30) or Fiat 9.55535-DM1 (0W-20); diesel: Fiat 9.55535-S1 (5W-30) or Fiat 9.55535-DS1 (0W-30)

The grade (such as 5W-30) and the approval (such as a carmaker code) both need to match your handbook. If your car has a particulate filter, the low-ash oil the handbook lists protects it.

By generation

Fiat 500 engine oil by generation and engine

Each 500 engine in our table with the approvals the carmaker lists for it (in the handbook or the service schedule), the usual one first, and the grades. Where we mark “check your handbook”, the approval changed during production or we could not confirm it in a carmaker’s own document. Check your exact car in the finder or WhatsApp us your reg.
