Part: Oil filter

How do you change the oil filter on a Fiat? Follow these steps. Lift the car on a column lift to your preferred height, then unscrew the square or hex bolt under the oil sump and drain all the oil into a container. Using a strap wrench or a socket spanner with a chain, unscrew the oil filter and replace it with a new one. Tighten the bolt on the oil sump and top up the fluid in the engine.
