  • Fiat 500 engines (1.4 MultiAir, at least the turbo one) has 30,000mi intervals. Also, the valvetrain system uses electrohydraulically-actuated intake valves (created from oil pressure). To protect this complicated valvetrain system, a mini oil filter (MultiAir filter) needs to be changed along with the spark plugs every 30,000mi. Neglect of these two parts is a huge reason why these engines prematurely fail, in addition to typical Fiat build quality issues.



  • The biggest shame is: if the person was more responsible, there would be zero (or little) smell. I’ve smoked both cigarettes and cigars in many new (leased) and used cars. Open windows before you smoke. When you finish smoking, drive around with windows open until your destination. Leave windows cracked overnight. Never had somebody notice it was “a smoker’s car”.
