[Gaz999]

I need to change my engine oil in my Fiat Punto 55 SX - 1.1 - N Reg.

I have foudn some Castrol GTX 1L - 15W/ 40 - A3/B3 Engine Oil
£1.99 1L
saving 78% - £6.94


or the 5L which is £21.99!!!

Now I have very little knowledge of cars lol, ...

So any help would be greatly appreciated please.
Thank you

Should be OK, although FIAT changed the recommendation from 15/40 to 10/40.

Just buy some.

cant help with the oil but be careful that the retainer part holding the sump plug in doesnt spin too as you undo it

Never come across this (yet). Are they gorillas out there?

Try and make sure you use semi synthetic oil.
Fiat engines are designed for semi synthetic 10w 40,or 15w 40
Just make sure its semi synthetic,ans change it every 5-6000 miles and you will be fine
