Start by opening the front bonnet of your Alfa Romeo 166. Next, unscrew and remove the top oil filler cap. Once done, lift the front of your vehicle, and then unscrew the lower drain nut. By unscrewing the lower nut, all the engine oil will drain out. Once done, screw the lower nut back in, then lower the front.

At this point, pour the new oil in through the top hole.

When you have completed this last step, screw the top cap back on, and the replacement will be complete.
