How to change the engine oil filter on Smart Fortwo

Model: Smart Smart 450 - Years 1998-2007
Part: Engine oil

Let's see how to change the engine oil filter on Smart Fortwo. We lift our car with a column bridge or jack and go to open the engine compartment located in the luggage compartment. Using a socket wrench with a suitable socket, unscrew the pin placed under the oil pan, so as to drain the oil into a container for future disposal. After having drained all the oil well, let's screw the pin back into the oil pan. We unscrew the filter with a strap wrench; we lubricate the new filter and screw it in its seat. Finally, top up the oil pan with the new liquid following the manufacturer's recommendations.

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.
