It's usually called the "oil filter adapter" since it provides a nice sealing surface and sometimes a better location for the filter.

How do you change the oil filter in a 1994 Saturn SL?

Put the front of the car up on ramps or jack stands - this lets you get under the car to access the oil filter. Jacking the rear of the car up level with the front helps the oil in the filter drain without getting all over the frame and axle, but it's still a mess when the oil trapped in the filter lets go. Optionally, you can jack up the right front, remove the wheel, remove the plastic fender liner and access the oil filter that way.
