How do you replace the Smart car's motor oil?

Model: Smart Smart 453 - Years 2014-2022
Part: Engine oil

In order to replace the engine oil of the Smart, it is necessary to loosen the drain plug of the oil pan, which is located on the lower rear part of the vehicle: once this plug has been unscrewed, it will be possible to collect all the used oil inside a properly positioned container. Once the oil has drained out, the oil filter located in this position can also be removed; this can be replaced with a new spare part, and then the top-up can be carried out. This operation is performed by opening the rear hatch and lifting the lining at the base of the rear compartment: underneath it there will be the engine and also the corresponding breather.

Installation of Upgraded Intercooler Radiator with Pipes

Lift the vehicle on suitable axle stands, remove the front wheels, and then the front bumper and grille. Proceed to remove the front headlights; drain the coolant, remove the intercooler radiator and the hoses connecting it to the intake system. Position the new intercooler radiator in the grille, temporarily securing it with cable ties, and mark with a marker the part of the metal that needs to be removed to allow the new hoses to pass through. Cut the marked portion of metal and apply a gasket to the edge. Remove the inner cover of the bumper and position it near the radiator to identify any interfering parts to eliminate: again, apply a gasket to the edge of the cut. Create brackets for securing the new radiator and proceed with the installation of the connecting pipes from the radiator to the intake, shaping and connecting them appropriately. Finally, reassemble the bumper, headlights, and grille.
