I'm starting to poke around the F learning where all the innards are.

Where is the oil filter located on this engine?

Get under the front bumper, and look at the engine undertray. There is a panel with four bolts in it covering oil filter access. Once the panel is removed, you'll see an old school style filter with a large aluminum cap. The cap unscrews and there is a paper filter element inside. The only thing getting replaced is the element and the o-ring seal, the rest of the bits are intended to serve the life of the engine. It is definitely not your typical spin-on.

Lobuxracer,

Do you know what the torq specs are for the filter cap and oil pan plug bolt?

Torque specs are actually German - gudentight.

Not exactly. Here's everything you need to know:

Thanks Lobux. Do you happen to know if the ISF uses the same oil filter element as the IS350?

thanks for the info. my first spot i was going to look was under that panel. never had a vehicle that doesn't use a regular spin on filter.
