Best Answer

The answer depends on which engine your car has. Wear gloves to keep the oil off of your skin.

If it is the 2.8L V6 the filter mounts on the lower block on the side nearest the radiator. Put down a drain pan to catch leaking oil. Simply unscrew the old filter, clean the mounting surface on the block, put a light coat of engine oil on the rubber seal and screw the new filter on hand tight. Refill the crankcase, run the engine and check for leaks. Also check the oil level and replenish as needed.

It it is the 2.5L 4 cylinder engine the filter is in the pan. You will find a largish nut on the bottom of the pan. Put a drip pan under it to catch the oil and take the plug off. The filter with the oil will come out. Clean the mounting surface and lightly oil the seal, put the filter in and put the plug back on. Refill the crank case with oil. Check for leaks and check the oil level, replenish with oil as needed.
