Its somewhat unorthodox! This car has a cartridge style oil filter. not the traditional oil filter that most of us are used to buying. Stand at the front of the car with the hood open, look to the left side of the engine. [passenger side] around the second cylinder front to back. you Will see structure that looks like s soda can it is a aluminum structure with a bolt in the center of it's top cover. If you loosen the bolt you will be able to change the canister inside the cylindrical structure. This filter is not that hard to find at your local parts store. [FYI] when you change the filter take the TOP of the box off and put it in your glove compartment. The next time you need a filter you will have the correct product number at your fingertips.
