Changing the Engine Oil

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2024
Part: Engine oil

Changing the engine oil is important to avoid problems with your car later. It is also recommended to replace the filter. This operation can be done alone; just have a bit of patience and skill.
First, unscrew the oil sump plug to drain the used oil. This should be done with the engine warm to ensure better fluidity.
While waiting for the oil to drain completely, remove the oil filter using a socket wrench. Once the oil has fully drained, proceed to fit the new filter. Generally, do not exceed 5 litres of oil.
