Want this question answered?
Apparently the skoda fabia uses synthetic oil, i had my service done yesterday and had to pay £20.00 extra for this oil, mines a 1.4yreg 8v.
3 liters
If you mean the air filter housing, the one with the oil filler coming through it, it just pulls off. There are no screws, bolts or clips, so just lift firmly at each corner until it comes free of its mounting studs and the air intake, and then detach the one rubber tube connecting it to the engine and put carefully aside. You should probably put a clean cloth in the mouth of the air intake to prevent any debris entering the engine.This is the case with my 2003 Skoda Fabia 1.4 16vJonathan
If you mean the big air filter housing which covers the top of the engine (with the oil filler coming through it) then the answer is that it just pulls off. There are no screws, bolts or clips, so just pull it up firmly at each corner until it comes free of the air intake and its mounting studs, then detach the one rubber tube and place the air filter aside.This answer refers to the case on my Skoda Fabia 1.4 16v, year 2003.Jonathan
Piston ring fault. Common on 1.4 16v Fabia engine code AUB. Note that the combustion gasses will cause blowby on piston blowing excessive oil vapour up the crankcase breather pipe and into air intake system on cars with this. You will see excessively dirty throttle body. Oil consumption will also be excessive.
the orange oil or fuel warning light normally indicates a filter wants changing
Depends whether your vehicle is adapted for longlife service intervals using longlife synthetic oil or standard service intervals using semi-synthetic oil. One is every 10,000 miles standard and the other every 20,000 miles longlife.

it normally means there worn and could do with replacing, however mine have been noisy for 3 years, my partner who's a mechanic never does any thing on my car unless he has to, so when he changes the oil he puts a bottle of STP oil treatment in with the oil. this tends to make it a lot quieter. good luck
