When Looking At The Front Of The Vehicle, The Oil Filter Is Under The Right Side Of The Intake Manifold (Located Just Above The Bell Housing). In Order To Change It, You Will Need A 36mm ECOTEC Filter Wrench (Its A Really Shallow Socket) A Swivel, 12" Extension & Ratchet. The Thing You Are Removing Is The Black Cap. Rotate It Until It Can Be Removed By Hand & Lift Out. When Installing The New Filter, Make Sure The Little o-ring Came w/ The Old Filter & Drop The Filter & Cap Straight Down Into The Block --HAND TIGHTEN-- Until The Factory O-ring (Its Reusable) Contacts The Block & Finish Tightening w/ The Socket - Just Needs To Be Snug, Dont Stupid Tighten It or It Will Break.

    My Appologies, The Socket Is A 32mm ECOTEC Style, Not 36mm. Here Is A Link To The Socket.

    Once On The Snap-On Page, Search 'A106' In The Snap-On Parts Fiels, It Should Come Up As The GM ECOTEC Oil Filter Socket.. I Dont Know Why The Previous Posted Links Did not Take Correctly.

2010 Hyundai Santa Fe 6 cylinder. How to find an oil leak on it?

Hi Joe

Get the engine hot, let is cool a bit and spray it with Gunk Degreaser.. Leave 5 minutes and spray it again. Then hose it off. Drive the car and the smell will dissipate. After a few days, look for the leak again.

Can't find oil filter, need location

2.2 ecotec motor?

The oil filter is located under the oil filter cap located on the drivers side front of the motor. Remove the plastic cover that goes over the top of the engine. As your standing in front of the vehicle look down and just to the right of the intake manifold. You will see a black plastic cap about 3" in diameter. It will have what looks like a large bolt head molded into the top of it. Remove that cap and the oil filter will be under it.

How do you drain the oil filter on a 2010 chevrolet equinox - 4 cylinder? I've researched and found out that the oil filter is on top of the motor and not underneath.

Since it is a cartridge type, when you take the top off it shouldn't spill any oil. It takes a 32mm socket to take the top off.

Where is the oil filter located on 2010 camy?

The oil filters on the 2010 Camry product are no longher 'spin-on' filters. The new style of filter being used are the 'cartridge' type. The filter is in an aluminum cylinder, under the engine. Toyota recommends the use of a special tool to remove the cartridge cylinder. Also note that you need to use the exact oil specified for your car. If you do not, your variable valve timing will not work properly, and you check engine light will come on. If the car specifies to use full-synthetic, you should not use anything else.
