The fuel filter, or the air filter?
Are you looking for a part number? I'd check with my local parts store.

I know that on a '96 the fuel filter is an in-line type near the fuel tank. As Pontiac hasn't really altered much on the Sunfire in over ten years, I'd suggest starting there.
standard More: Judging from what is shown here: http://consumerguideauto.howstuffworks.com/1995-to-2005-pontiac-sunfire-6.htm Either transmission type was available.
10w30
4 cylinder engine 2.2 or 2.4
10W-30 should be the best type to use.

A 1996 Pontiac Sunfire uses Dexcool coolant. This should only be mixed with distilled water, never tap water. Replace the coolant every 2 years or as needed.
Coolant is all pretty much the same from manufacturer to manufacturer. Check your owner's manual to find out the right mixture for your Sunfire
== == The black cover that holds the oil filter is accessed form on top - under the hood. Down about half way down the engine. See link below for a pic....... it is a cartridge type filter you will have to unscrew a black plug near wehre you fill the oil.
In the early to mid 90's all manufacturers were forced to convert to 134A
When you go to your parts house to buy it, there will be an application guide hanging in the aisle. Find your car's year and model in the guide and pick up the appropriate filter. If there's not a guide hanging there, just ask the guys at the counter to look it up for you on their computer.
