Oil/filter Change

[DV62HMX]

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

Selenia WR 5W30 as it's ACEA C2 specification specifically for diesel engine with a DPF. Although there are many cheaper alternatives for less money...
