Oil/filter Change

Question

Hi , I'm new here , I've owned my 1.4 M-Air Delta for nearly 4 years & have always had it serviced by the local FIAT specialists , but being an OAP finances are always an issue , so I'd like to do my own oil & filter changes to save money .

BUT....I can't find the filter ,it doesn't seem to be a canister type or if it is I can't find it !!!!!   HELP !!

The Delta is such an underrated car, I don't care if J. Clarkson said "It's not even a very good car " , Top Gear, before he forgot how to behave like a reasonable human being...........no sign of a massive ego of course   !!

Is there such a thing as a Haynes Manual equivalent ?

Thanks DV62HMX

Welcome along DV!

The oil filter is a cartridge type, with your knees at the front bumper, facing the engine, it's located under a plastic cover clipped in beneath it, you will need a ratchet, a long extension, a universal joint and a 27mm socket. You place the socket on the cover and screw off anti-clockwise, with a cloth beneath to catch the drips. The filter is used on many fiat and Lancia models and is listed on the Halfords catalogue (HAL 31) I think??? Only use the Fiat 'pure energy' (red can) oil which is specific for the multiair engine. Hope this helps
