Technical Checking oil on Fiat Panda Twin Air

[xrsteve]

Hi,
I've only owned my twin air a few months but thought today I must check the oil. Why does everything have to be so complicated nowadays. I read the handbook. On the top of the engine the dipstick and oil filler are there. I cannot get it to turn anticlockwise. If I turn it clockwise it just clicks. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Been on you tube but can't find the answer.
Cheers,
Stephen

Hi, it's just been fitted VERY tight

It doesn't NEED to click when you close it..

I JUST get the writing level each time

The clicking is a ratchet (to save over tightening..)

Undo it conventionally, like the lid on Bottle.. Or Jar

Let's hope there is some oil on there to see
