Hello,

The oil filter is located on the lower left side of the engine. This vehicle has a canister style oil filter. You will have to use a oil filter strap to remove the filter cover.
The drain plug is located at the bottom of the oil pan.
I have attached diagrams for your reference.
This engine uses 4.4 quarts of engine oil.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
