Hi there,

The filter is hard to see, it is under the exhaust manifold & next to the alternator, you may find it some what difficult to undo as there is not much room to work, there are special filter tools that grip the top of the filter and you use a ratchet driver to undo it, Use gloves if you try first to do it by hand as the exhaust is hot!
