Thank you for the video! I’m new to this and I’d like to learn how to do my own oil changes and this helps a lot. Could you please go into more detail on how to remove the intake pipe?
Thanks for watching! Depending on where you’re from (US vs Europe), this could differ. I believe the 2015 and newer Abarth is slightly different as it doesn’t have one or both ports. If you have a stock tube, there will be a hose clamp at the top of the tube, closest to the firewall, and the bottom of the tube on the turbo. Use a flathead screwdriver or socket wrench (8mm I think). If you have the ports, the smaller one is just held on by a clamp that you can use pliers to pinch and remove. To remove the larger hose, you simply need to pinch the gray parts of the plastic couple and it should pull off the port.
@@Coronet777 thank you very much for the quick reply! I have a 2013 US abarth so it should be the same. Is there any risk in doing this? It seems easy and straightforward but I’m still new to all this
@@zenoncortez9050 It should be the same then! Be gentle as those small plastic tubes can be delicate. The main intake pipe is flexible and shouldn’t give you too much trouble. The car should be warm so the oil flows quickly but it should cool down at least a little before you begin. The engine compartment in these are so tight and you’ll be working close to the turbo.
@@cota_bound07 Sure! I usually order my oil from Amazon (a.co/d/aHESj1d) since my local stores don’t carry it. This is a 6 pack, but you’ll only need 4 quarts. I like keeping an extra quart in the car to top the oil off if it needs it. As for the filter, the part number is MO-241. You can find them in auto parts stores or wherever the best deal is online. I happened to buy mine from 500Madness but I can’t seem to find them on their website anymore.
any change you can tell us the lenght of that wrench extension? maybe a 10in? + swivel ?
@@MikeGod123 I think I stacked a few 10inch extensions together with a swivel at the end. It was just enough to get the ratchet above the front brace.
