Model: Fiat Idea MK 1 - Years 2003-2016
Part: Service warning light

In this video, you will learn how to perform an engine oil change on a Fiat Idea. As the first step, position a sufficiently large container under the oil sump.

Fill with new oil suitable for your vehicle, unscrew the yellow cap and pour in the new oil, then reset the service light. To reset the service light, turn on the ignition without starting the engine and within the next 10 seconds, press the accelerator three times.
