How to Replace Engine Oil, Oil Filter, and Air Filter on a Fiat Punto

Model: Fiat Punto MK 1, 176 - Years 1993-1999
Part: Engine oil

Today, this brief guide will show you how to change the engine oil and oil filter on your Fiat Punto. It is not a very complex operation; just be careful, and you can do it without needing a specialist. First, remove the oil filler cap (to avoid creating a closed chamber when you remove the oil drain plug). To change the air filter, open the two side clips so you can pull out the old filter and insert the new one. Now, move on to removing the oil drain plug (place a container under your Fiat Punto to collect the oil). Meanwhile, remove the oil filter using a ratchet spanner and replace it with the new one. After ensuring all the old oil has drained, you can refit the drain plug and proceed to top up with new oil.

To check the oil level on a Jeep Renegade, you need to open the bonnet to access the components inside the engine bay: on the lower left side of the engine block, you will find the dipstick for checking the level. This should be pulled out and thoroughly cleaned with a cloth: once cleaned, reinsert it back into its tube and pull it out immediately after. This way, you can check that the oil mark is between the minimum and maximum levels; finally, you can place the dipstick back in its tube.
