Fiat - which oil

[FiatT234]

Hello, I am new to the forum. I have just bought my first Fiat car – it’s a 500 .

However, as I am new to the fiat car I was wondering if any Fiat driver could help me out on the following:

In terms of oil – what is the best oil to use? A synthetic or semi synthetic and what would be the best brand?

Many thanks and much appreciated,

thanks you - it's a Fiat 500 lounge

Thank you - called Halfords and these were the recommended oils:

Castrol 5w40 edge 16.99 for 1 litre
Petronis 5w40 3000av 16.99 for 1 litre
Mobile ow40 gsp formula 19.99 for 1 litre

I assume that I should top up my oil about every 1000miles?
If I travel about 200 miles every week I suppose I should be checking my oil before the start of each journey.
Thank you!
