How to Replace the Engine Oil in the Fiat 500L?

Model: Fiat 500 500 L - Years 2012-2023
Part: Engine oil

To replace the engine oil in the Fiat 500L, access the underside of the engine bay: here you will find the oil drain plug, which must be unscrewed to let all the used oil flow into a suitably positioned container. Once all the oil has drained, close the drain plug and open the bonnet to access the engine bay: near the right front headlamp, you will find the oil filter, which must be removed and replaced with a new one. Finally, top up the oil through the breather located in the central area of the engine bay.
