Why check the motor oil level in my Fiat 500X?

Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these components can grind against each other, generate excess heat, and cause your 500X’s engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.

How hard is it to change Fiat 500X oil at home?

First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also with your vehicle down the road.

Why is my Fiat 500X exhaust smoke grayish or blue?

There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, blown piston rings, or old cylinder walls.

What can cause the oil light on my Fiat 500X to illuminate?

Your Fiat 500X oil change reminder light may come on if you're overdue for an oil change. The oil pressure light will typically come on if the oil level in the engine is too low, the oil pump is failing, you have a clogged oil filter, or there's a faulty oil pressure sensor.

Do I need to replace my 500X’s oil filter when changing my oil?

You should replace your Fiat 500X during each oil change. The filter captures debris and contaminants to help keep your oil clean, which means the filter gets dirty. If you skip replacing the filter, you’ll contaminate your new oil with the dirty filter.

Fiat recommends having your 2018 Fiat 500X’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your 500X in the above table.

You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Fiat if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, go off-roading a lot, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Fiat 500X.
