    Changing the Oil (filter and drain plug location?)

    Can anyone post a diagram or picture showing where the oil filter & oil drain plug are? And which side of the car I need to jack up to get at both?

    Thank you

    Diagram may help a little (for filter location):



    Filter is shown there below the three intake runners on the front of the motor.

    And here's a photo for redundancy ...



    This is the 1.0L 3A90 engine, but the layout is the same as the 1.2L 3A92

    Guy's pretty old-school... Putting apparently 'conventional oil just like he uses conventional fuel.' I guess he uses leaded gasoline?
