Engine Oil and Oil Filter Replacement

Model: Fiat Punto MK 2, 188 - Years 1999-2011
Part: Engine oil

It is recommended to perform this operation with a cold engine to avoid burns.
Lift the vehicle on a hydraulic lift or, if using a jack, ensure the vehicle is secured on two axle stands.
Open the front bonnet and secure it with the prop rod.
Open the oil filler cap and remove the dipstick to facilitate the draining process.
Place a suitable container (approximately 5 litres) under the oil sump and remove the plug with a 10mm hex key to allow the oil to drain. In the meantime, unscrew the oil filter cartridge using a strap wrench: place a container under the filter to catch the oil.
Then, apply the new filter after coating the gasket with oil to improve adhesion; tighten the filter by hand.
Once the oil has drained, refit the plug and tighten it properly.
Lower the vehicle from the axle stands and top up the engine oil with the specified SAE grade and quantities indicated in the owner's manual.
