How To Change The Oil & Oil Filter on a 2010 Seat Ibiza 1.2 Petrol

In this episode of Driveway Dudes Paul and Will show you how to change the oil & oil filter on a 2010 Seat Ibiza 1.2 Petrol.
Tools and miscellaneous used:
Small trolley jack and axle stands with Wheel block.
Sockets: 6mm Allen Key and 6mm socket with adapter for sump plug. 36mm for oil filter housing, both 1/2" drive.
1/2" ratchet.
Torque wrench.
Oil collector.
Rubber / Latex / Nitrile gloves.
Small plastic bag.
Rags.
This service can be carried out easily and by yourself on your driveway.
Wear suitable clothing, gloves and if possible eye protection while underneath the car. Also have rags to wipe/clean oil residue.
Be safe, use axle stands to support the car. Do not rely on the car jack alone and try to work on a level surface.

[@akesvensson3778]

Very helpful video guys! Thank you! But my socket for the filter cap is 32 mm on 1.6 L petrol also 2010. I think yours is too.

[@rdz3960]

Thank you for great instructions. I changed oil myself and I am realy happy from thaht. Also I saved a a lot of money, service is too expencive.

[@brocky436]

Great informative vid really professional feel to it do you think I could remove the filter casing without the 36mm socket or would it just get damaged. Anyway thanks for helpful video!

[@DrivewayDudes]

Using a correct size socket but try not to force it and you should be fine

[@mylesgray5662]

Cheers

[@DrivewayDudes]

Glad to help

[@aseireann]

thanks boys, can i ask if you've ever heard of the 2 smaller seals on the filter stalk needing to be changed?, thanks, d in galway

[@deancollison5093]

I always change them when servicing mine you can buy 125 piece oring set from eurocarparts for about a fiver

[@aseireann]

@@deancollison5093 thanks Dean, I suppose you just offer the sizes up to the old ones after removal,just oil proof engine orings I'm looking for...old ones on since bought I. 2004 but only 70k on clock, was my mams car so little use🙂

[@dimitrispapageorgiou976]

Thank you very much, really useful video. How much oil 5w30 did you finally use including the oil filter?

[@DrivewayDudes]

Hi Dimitris. I'm glad you found the video useful. The engine oil capacity for this engine (1.2 petrol 12v 51kW) is 2.8 litres. With any car I like to put in about 0.5 - 1 litre less than capacity and slowly start topping up (to allow the oil to drain to the sump) until I'm happy with the level between minimum and maximum on the dipstick. Once you start the engine, and the oil pump circulates the oil around the various galleries, it will fill the oil filter housing and saturate the oil filter. This will mean the level of oil you originally saw on the dipstick will drop a little. After you switch off the engine, allow about 20 minutes for the oil to drain back down to the sump and top up as necessary/desired. Don't forget to have the car on a level surface :) I hope you found the above information useful and feel free to reach out to us if you ever have any more questions. Driveway Dudes - Will

[@dimitrispapageorgiou976]

Thank you very much indeed.

[@dimitrispapageorgiou976]

Was it easy to remove the engine's cap? Any tips maybe?

[@DrivewayDudes]

2 handed if you can

[@philipwood123]

to video guys

[@joshuajohnsonpryke3823]

Hi, where did you get your new sump plug from?

[@DrivewayDudes]

Hi Josh, The sump plug we re-used. The sump plug compression washer we purchased at a motor parts store

[@djcrixx8020]

I have a 1.4 2011 seat Ibiza and i am just about to pay over £120 for a service , but watching this has made me realise that I could do it myself for a lot less lol , do I just follow the same instructions even tho I’m in a 1.4?

[@DrivewayDudes]

Hi Dj Crixx, If you have the tools, the correct replacement parts and lubes then there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to attempt to do the oil and filter change yourself. We have other videos related to the Seat Ibiza that you may also find useful.

[@djcrixx8020]

Driveway Dudes thanks lads think I’ll give it a go 😊

[@darrylstravels2479]

How and where do you dispose the old oil?

[@DrivewayDudes]

We have containers where we store used oil until it's time for a trip to our local recycling centre which among other things, accepts used oils and lubricants

[@robertnijhuis4218]

Just a little tip fill your oil filter with oil as it saves your engine slightly

[@DrivewayDudes]

A half correct suggestion but not necessary. You can if you wish put some oil in with the filter but not too much

[@manup2008]

Hi guys, how about a video on showing how you change the radiator coolant?

[@DrivewayDudes]

Hi pimpinritch, Thanks for the suggestion. We'll definitely consider that when we'll be carrying out the next major service in the future. 👍

[@manup2008]

Cheers dudes, going to attempt mine at weekend, any hints and tips? Great videos by the way.

[@DrivewayDudes]

Changing the radiator coolant?

[@manup2008]

Driveway Dudes yes please, done oil before but never coolant

[@DrivewayDudes]

Make sure the engine is not hot. Drain from the lowest point. Fill to required level, run engine up to normal temp, let it cool down then check level again. Top up if necessary

[@MrCean]

i have a seat ibiza 1.2 Petrol start-stop ecomotive year 2011 75hp and i dont have user manual..what oil should i use ?

[@DrivewayDudes]

Please confirm the engine as the 1.2 12V petrol model is rated at 69hp and the 1.2TSI is 103hp. The 1.0 petrol is 73bhp. For 2011 Seat launched a 1.2 ecomotive start stop with a 75hp TDi engine

[@MrCean]

@@DrivewayDudes i know what engine i have i just wrote..i asked about the oil :)

[@DrivewayDudes]

The recommended for Seat 1.2 petrol engine is ACEA C3 spec oil

[@MrCean]

@@DrivewayDudes thank you,i appreciate it

[@vandaminator1]

You should allways do this yourself, because if you do it on a mechanic is just a matter of time they drop oil on the power generator.

[@michaelkennedy8573]

No chance is that 36mm socket, 32 at absolute most

[@DrivewayDudes]

36mm does seem a bit big for such a small filter housing but as Seat parts are shared with other models and brands it shouldn't be that surprising
