Oil dipstick position on a Fiat 500

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2024
Part: Engine oil

In this video we see where the oil dipstick is located on a Fiat 500; we can find a bright red ring on the left side of the engine block: that is the handle of the dipstick for checking the oil level. To check the level, we must park the car on a flat surface, wait for the engine to cool down, completely remove the dipstick from its housing, and clean the dipstick with a clean cloth; then insert it back into its housing and pull it out again: now we can check the oil level, which should be close to the maximum indicated on the dipstick. If the oil level is low, gradually add the oil recommended by the manufacturer through the oil filler cap, checking it at each top-up. If the level is too high, it is necessary to remove the excess oil.
