The oil filter is a small cylinder, about 2.5" in diameter, located on the right side of the engine underneath the intake manifold.

Hold a rag or towel underneath the oil filter and grab the filter with your hand. The rag will be used to catch any leaking oil when removing the filter

Loosen the oil filter by twisting it counterclockwise.

You may have to use an oil filter wrench if the filter is on too tight. There is very limited space next to the engine, though, so a wrench that fits over the top of the filter is ideal.
