How To Change A Fiat 500 Air Filter

The most obvious benefit to changing your air filter is the increased fuel efficiency you’ll see after having it switched. Since it improves air flow to your engine, your car doesn’t have to work as hard, so it burns less gas. Increasing air flow to your engine can also improve the overall performance of your vehicle. If your engine is staying clean, it won’t have to work as hard to get you from point A to B. Finally, from an environmental perspective, your car will see its emission reduced. A clogged filter can actually directly affect the emissions control component of the vehicle, which can lead to a poor air/fuel mixture. Given the large amount of benefits that a clean filter brings (improved fuel economy, overall engine performance and reduced emissions), it should go without saying that having it replaced regularly is very advantageous.

[@cocardonboarding5649]

Thank you soooooooooooo much, you rock man!

[@user-tn7vr7qg2x]

Great instructions for a newbie!!

[@franciscoortiz6980]

Good video... but you can make it easier to access if you remove the engine cover... makes it easier to get to the filter cover. dude.... where did you get that extension with screw driver and little hex head you use in most of the video... love it !

[@YourHomeGarage]

Thanks for the tip. As for the tool - search "lock and drive screwdriver". You'll see various options from brands such as Klein, Grainger and Mastercraft. I actually thought it was a weird gimmick when I bought my set on sale years ago, but they turned out to be one of my favourite items in the tool box.

[@garymoore488]

Great video and “THAT WAS EASY”

[@khjf2010]

Not as complicated as Fiat makes it look! Thanks for the info!

[@pearlwelsh9961]

[@Simplelearning267]

Great Vid...Nice and Simple! Is there any link to the particular Screwdriver that you used? Just curious. Great stuff.

[@YourHomeGarage]

I bought my set from an automotive store, but they don't have my screwdriver set on their website. Here is the link to something similar from Home Depot -www.homedepot.com/p/Klein-Tools-2-Phillips-Head-Screwholding-Screwdriver-with-6-7-8-in-Round-Shank-Cushion-Grip-Handle-32216/202970518

[@karimbouabid7168]

Great straight forward video, but where do I get that nifty tool?!

[@YourHomeGarage]

Google "lock and drive screwdriver". You'll see various options from brands such as Klein, Grainger and Mastercraft.

[@zeero62]

Easy enuff; BUT the air filter cover is NOT, repeat NOT, that easy to pull out. It helped to unpop the engine cover. Also, I removed the screw on the passenger side with an 8mm wrench because the "lip" is too high and blocks your way of getting to it with a normal screwdriver (you'll notice how he comes in at an angle on that screw in the video). Also, use an 8mm wrench to unsecure the inlet hose to the air filter compartment. Then you can shift the entire assembly to your right towards the driver's side and then you can pull the whole thing out, remove the old filter, give the inside a good wipe-down and install the new filter.

[@hamzaafridi7628]

Sir ! you are not telling us about other 3 screws at the bottom of bay

[@NachoTV]

What size filter is it? Or model #?

[@YourHomeGarage]

Look at the FRAM CA11109 or ACDelco A3623C

[@wafulton]

Please tell me how to buy that tool?

[@YourHomeGarage]

I’ve had this question many times, so I just made a video on the screwdriver.

[@yb2112]

So, for the life of me, i couldn't remove the front filter housing without un screwing the whole top assembly 🤷🏻

[@YourHomeGarage]

That is odd - but it sounds like you rolled with the added challenge and got it done - awesome!

[@reyes6498]

Whats the part number?????

[@YourHomeGarage]

FRAM CA11109 a.co/d/9PwpTAT or ACDelco A3623C a.co/d/ij6aklD

Great video! Thank you for posting it!

[@markbury141]

You need rubber gloves to change a n air filter? Why?

[@UnDefinedLegacy]

Grease is all over a car and the dust can be made of anything. You can do it without gloves but people like to prevent getting their hand dirty
