How to perform the engine oil and oil filter change for the Smart Fortwo.

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

To perform the oil and oil filter replacement on a Smart Fortwo vehicle, we need to open the trunk and remove the cover to access the components. We remove the cover of the oil pan and open the oil drain valve to allow the oil to flow out more easily. Using a torque wrench, we remove the drain plug and let the oil flow into a container. At the same time, we remove the oil filter housing to insert the new one, making sure to lubricate the gasket first. Once finished, we close the drain plug and reattach the oil pan cover. We position the trunk cover back in place, and after closing it, we open the front hood to pour the correct amount of engine oil into the reservoir. It is important to check the oil level using the dipstick.

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.
