Oil and filter change.

[adamlewis01]

Has anyone got a guide on doing this as i have looked on the technical specifications for a guide and i cant seem to find one for a 1.2 with pictures. Can anybody help me?

oil filler cap off, undo sump plug and drain into bowl. Wait for it to drain. Oil filter off with oil filter removal tool. New one on hand tight. Sump plug back in with new washer, again dont over tighten just a little nip. Re-fill with correct amount of oil. Job done

not forgetting to run it for 30seconds then check the oil level of course and add more if necessary. Also dont fill to manufactures full spec as you may overfill. I always knock about half a litre off there figures then ajust as necessary

The oil filter is located at the front of the engine block (alittle towards the passenger side) about midway down. You can access this from underneath the car, reaching up behind the plastic tray that covers the front of the bumper.

Ramps are a deffinate must for this job.

If its a 1.2 8v the oil filter is on the drivers side end of the engine near the aux belt.

Assuming its a 1.2 16v then the oil filter is drivers side rear of the engine. Can get it from below or through the arch.
