Oil and Engine Oil Filter Change

Model: Fiat Punto MK 2, 188 - Years 1999-2011
Part: Engine oil

Changing the oil is one of the most common routine maintenance tasks. To drain the used oil, unscrew the plug located at the bottom of the oil sump; it is very important to collect the used oil in a container and take it to a disposal company. Once all the oil has drained out, refit the plug with the correct torque. Then unscrew the oil filter, located on the engine block, using a chain wrench, being careful of any residual used oil in the filter. Next, fit the new filter by lubricating the seal with oil and pour the new oil into the filler neck on the engine head, checking the level.
