Replacing the oil filter on Smart Fortwo

Model: Smart Smart 450 - Years 1998-2007
Part: Oil filter

How to replace the engine oil filter on a Smart Fortwo? Let's see the replacement in this video. We open the tailgate of the car and pull up the opening lever of the engine compartment. We lift the car on a jack and unscrew the oil pan pin; let the liquid flow into a container (we can suck the oil if we have the right tool). With a socket wrench we unscrew the large locking pin of the container cap where the oil filter is located. We remove the worn oil filter and place a new one. Finally we top up the new liquid and close the front hood.

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.
