Instructions for Engine Oil Change/Drain

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

When changing the engine oil, ensure the engine is warm: start the engine until it reaches operating temperature (90 °C), stop the engine, and wait a few minutes for all the oil to flow into the sump. Then, lift the vehicle on a ramp or suitable axle stands, locate the drain plug underneath the oil sump, position a container to collect the used oil, and unscrew the plug to allow the oil to drain out (to aid drainage, open the filler cap on the rocker cover).
