Change engine oil and oil filter FIAT 500 1.2 8V

Model: Fiat 500 500 L - Years 2012-2023
Part: Oil filter

To replace the engine oil and the oil filter of the Fiat 500, first of all, we place the car in a position, well immobilized, stable and safe (on a plane or on the bridge) so that we can work on it while protecting the safety of the operator. This precaution should be taken for any maintenance operation to be undertaken on any car. Now, let's open the front hood of the engine compartment and unscrew the cap of the engine oil port. If you want, we can use an exchange fluid that will be used following the instructions in the video images. Now, to get rid of the old oil, let's keep the engine running for about 5 minutes, in order to make it more fluid. We place a container under the bleed hole, under the engine. We unscrew the nut of the hole and let all the oil drain out of the engine. Close the bleed hole again and, once the position of the oil filter has been located, proceed to unscrew it (using the appropriate wrench). We replace the old filter with the new one (it is good to grease the gasket and its attachment). At this point, after having extracted the dipstick to measure its level, all that remains is to pour the new oil into the appropriate mouthpiece in such a quantity as to reach the average level on the dipstick. And that's it!

How to Install Roof Bars on a Fiat 500X

Learn how to equip your car with universal roof bars. Universal roof bars are used on cars with and without roof rails (fixed bars secured to the car roof). Install the roof bar kit as shown in the video with the bars calibrated according to the width of the car. Position the brackets at both ends of the doors on the car's original roof rails. Once the width of the anchoring brackets is adjusted, tighten the bolts with the butterfly nut (if a lock is present) until fully secured to the roof rails. Finally, apply the safety caps on your Fiat.
