ok the first one is the hole that is right by the wheel...
the second pic shows the hole that is more near the back... first you stick your oil wrench in the first hole and get it on the filter... then move back a little bit and put your other arm in the rear hole... then it will be a piece of cake to take out... srry for craptastic cell phone pics |

Often the oil drain bolt & oil filter will be over torquedc from the factory. If you have the right size socket of decent quality it should come right off. At this point I'd suggest that you leave it alone & go some where and have them get it loose for you.

If you dont mind regular oil going to the dealer isnt bad at all. My dealer charges 24.99. Now if you want to use Mobile 1 or something like it your going to spend about 32 bucks just for the oil with the filter your up to 40 bucks and thats without labor.

people, if u are struggling to get the drain bolt and oil filter off, ur putting it way too tight. both should be placed on nice and snug, to where it should not take much effort to loosen both, but at the same time dont put it on so lightly to where it'll unscrew itself and fall off.
