The location of the oil filter on the Fiat 500X is typical for the 1.4 Turbo petrol (MultiAir) and 1.6 Diesel MultiJet engines. It is located in the lower-central part of the engine, behind and slightly to the side of the transmission housing.

It is completely enclosed and secured by a subframe, so you cannot simply access it from underneath: you need to remove the undertray, drain the oil from the sump to avoid being flooded with oil when unscrewing the filter. Then, loosen the bolts securing the subframe (it is not necessary to remove it completely) to create space to insert your hand and remove the filter, which will come off more easily with a strap wrench.

How to Activate the Disabled TRC on the Toyota Yaris?

As the video clearly shows, disabling or activating the traction control (TRC or ESP) on the Toyota Yaris is very simple. By default, the traction system activates every time the vehicle is started. To disable it, simply press the button depicting a skidding car located in the centre of the vehicle where the controls are, such as the hazard lights and the radio, but near the handbrake. Once disabled, the TRC off light will illuminate on the dashboard. To reactivate it, just press the same button again.
