It has a canister filter located on the right side of the engine (front) under the upper radiator hose.
To do this, you need to first remove the splash shield under the vehicle which covers the oil pan. Once you remove it, remove the oil drain plug and drain the oil into a container. Once empty, replace the plug, tighten, and I recommend the gasket on the drain plug itself.
Next, you will need an oil filter wrench to remove the cap covering the internal canister filter. Remove the cap, remove the filter, replace the filter with a new one, and replace the O-ring gasket on the cap. Replace the cap and tighten.
Refill the engine oil, start the engine, let it run a few seconds, and turn it off and check level.
