Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2022
Part: Engine oil
Operation: How to change the oil and oil filter in the Fiat 500?

In this model of car the oil pan is hidden by the lower soundproofing panel therefore before starting the replacement we must lift the car on a bridge or on jack stands and then remove this cover. In this way we can access the oil sump and, after placing a suitable container underneath it to collect at least four liters of liquid, unscrew the locking pin to let the used oil flow out. In the meantime we unscrew the filter, remove the cartridge and the old o-ring, clean with a special cleaner and screw on the new filter. We now close the locking pin of the oil sump, lower the car and add the new engine oil.

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
