Oil Filter Replacement for Fiat Panda 4x4 1.2 Petrol

Model: Fiat Panda 169, MK 2 - Years 2003-2012
Part: Oil filter

Whenever you change the engine oil, it is advisable to replace the oil filter as well; for this engine, the oil filter is the classic metal filter screwed onto its support and is located just behind the oil sump, at the height of the crankshaft pulley. After draining the oil through the designated drain plug under the sump, unscrew the filter using a strap wrench or by puncturing it with a screwdriver. Coat the gasket of the new filter with oil and screw it in by hand, then fill the engine with new oil, ensuring to restore the level.
