In this tutorial, you will learn how to check the levels of various fluids in the Fiat 500, including the engine oil. Before proceeding, wait for the engine to be completely cold to operate safely. Start by opening the bonnet, then locate the yellow ring at the rear right of the compartment, grasp it, and fully extract the dipstick.

Clean the dipstick with an absorbent cloth, reinsert it, and pull it out again. If the level indicated is between the minimum and maximum markers, no action is needed; otherwise, top up through the designated cap located at the front of the engine.
