Many older cars used an oil filter element or cartridge which was placed INSIDE the oil filter housing or canister. Usuallly the canister had one long bolt through its center to hold it onto the engine. It was difficult to change without making a mess of oneself and the garage floor. The instant the long bolt was removed, the oil started leaking. Today's "spin on" filters are a vast improvement. Kits are available to change to the newer system for several old cars.

The oil filter is a cartridge type filter which is accessed from above the engine, not the bottom as is normal with US cars. There is a black plastic cap about 3" in diameter on the drivers side of the engine, just behind the radiator hose. Unscrew the oid drain plug and drain oil from below. Then from the top side you can unscrew the oil filter cap, pull out the old cartridge, and drop in a new cartridge filter element.
