This depends on the motor your car has. If you could let me know if it is a OHV V6 or the OHC V6 i can help you out. The OHV V^ is a little easier to do its located in the front and you can access it from the top but the OHC V6 it is the easiest to get to it from behind the right wheel well and underneath. This one is a little more time consuming and a little harder and you also need to have your car jacked up and and sturdy jack stands to work safely just keep that in mind.
