Remove bottom engine pan and drain old oil. This is an OEM filter so no problems with fit. Just get a 27mm socket for five bucks at harbor freight and you are good to go. Trick is to remove the top plastic engine cover (just pops off) and the air cleaner housing (pop out intake hose, remove top two screws and slide up and to the right) so you can get at and remove the oil filter canister cover. You will need just the right length socket/adapter/extension/ratchet handle length for the canister and a quarter inch drive handle and socket is useful for the air cleaner screws. It's all very tight in there. Be sure to get the socket all the way down on the canister cover nut. It is plastic and has built in spring loaded tensioning tabs so it is a very tight fit. The full pressure seal is made by the O ring (included) sliding inside the housing, so don't over tighten the canister cover. Be sure to lube the O ring with a little new oil before reassembly.

I bought my Fiat 500 pop in November 2011, and when I finally needed an oil change around 7,000 miles, I discovered no service places nearby carried filters for them. I bought this and took it to a nearby garage. They used it with no problems.Best Deals for Genuine Fiat Parts 68102241AA Oil Filter
Great price, "Drop-in," convenience..... I was fortunate to have put in a "High-Flow" MOPAR intake that got rid of all the "Tupperware" on top of my engine. Now oil changes are really a 15 minute operation. This filter fit perfectly. I bought a 3-pack & I'm glad I did. The "detente" so that it stays seated correctly, while inserting fit & I'm 100% satisfied. I would recommend to anyone with a Fiat 500 who doesn't want to needlessly take to dealers. Delivery & service were fast & efficient.Thank you.
