Replace the engine oil filter during every oil change, even though many people have the habit of changing it alternately: one change yes and one no. However, given the low cost of the filter, it is always advisable to replace it to ensure its filtering efficiency.

In the case of the vehicle in question, the filter is located at the rear of the engine, in a central position, just below the engine air filter housing.

To remove it easily, use a socket wrench designed to grip the filter effectively.

Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat.
