How do i change engine oil on a fiat seicento?

Answer 1

Oil change is easy enough to do. Get yourself a new oil filter and the oil of your choice (i use magnatec GTX). If you look under the car, on the bottom of the engine you'll see the sump. In the middle of that (facing toward the back of the car if i remember correctly) you'll see a stubbt bolt. You'll need an alun key to remove this. I can't remember the size of it, but its big!

Warm the car up, and then leave it stand for a while (so all the oil collects in the sump). Then just stick something to collect the oil under the sump, and preferably some cardboard under that as oil destroys tarmac. Loosen the sump plug, but don't remove it totally as it'll spray oil everywhere!

Once its finished dripping, unscrew the old oil filter (its on the front of the engine, below the exhaust manifold) and spin the new one on. Don't tigthen it too much. Some people say smear a bit of oil onto the seal on the new filter to help it seal.. i forgot to do that on mine! Then just tightn up the sump plug, and refil the engine with oil.
