Lift the hood of the vehicle. Facing the car, locate the area for the oil change: it is on your left, next to the engine compartment, where you will find the oil dipstick (the one with the yellow cap) and the engine oil fill cap (black cap with the lubricant symbol).

Near the dipstick, slightly towards the bumper, you will notice what looks like a small container with a hexagonal cap: this is the oil filter. As shown in the video, replacing it is very simple: just unscrew it with a socket or hex wrench and install (and screw in) a new filter with a new o-ring.
