Took my car to a neighbor who had a pit in his garage. First had to remove a large plastic pan under front of car that had a number of Torx screws holding it on. Then there is an aluminum sheild to the rear of that, held on by more Torx screws, but 1 larger one in rear was a 12 point that we did not have. Found that you could swivel shield out of way without removing it. Removed drain plug from oil pan and drained oil. Did not have 36MM?? socket to go on botom of filter housing, but found that a 1 and ??16th fit ok. Took bottom of filter off and had some oil spill. (there is a drain plug in bottom of filter, but we did not use as the Purolator filter kit did not have a gasket or washer for it) Once had filter out, looked like Audi element was better, so next time will buy Audi filter. Inserted element and new filter rubber gasket. Reassembled every thing and total time was 30 min., but could probably do in 20 min. now that we know how to do it.
