i flipped through the manual and i didn't see a section on changing the oil filter, only on checking oil level. i didn't see it when i looked over the engine from the top, is the filter located underneath on the lower side?

 

I ask the same question a while back. Some one told me it's on the side facing the firewall... not able to see from the top.

You have a 5 speed? If u do, u know where the clutch resevior is??? No one seems to find that one.

 

yes i have 5 speed but i don' tknow where the res. is. i only had it for a few days and the wife has been driving it.

 

i think if you crank the steering wheel all the way to the left..and then look behind the front right wheel, up towards the fire wall you should find it

 

thanks. i'll look when i get home tonight. so is it necessary to take a wheel off to change the oil? i won't be changing mine yet, as its new and i've got 3 free coming. but i want to know for the 4th oil change.

 

if it is like the xb the clutch and brake use the same resevoir.....

 

Dude the oil filter is so easy to get to. Get on down on the floor and look under the car. Look near the exhaust manifold it'll be near there not to far from the oil pan in fact. Its black so it'll be a little bit harder to notice.
