should you have a vehicle
better get yourself a good manual or better still enrol at college on a basic car maintenance course

Vertical, at the back of the engine, acessed from under the bonnet, not underneath.

Don't feel too foolish about asking, as i had the same problem when i changed my filter for the first time. Its not where you'd expect to find it, that's for sure.

Found it! Thank you for your assistance, The ****** thing was hiding under the air cleaner body (it couldnt have been anywhere else when I think about it). I guess it was a little dark at 9pm. Again thanks.

Nothing to be ashamed about, I had to think where the oil filter was when I got my 129

Even worse, I had to enrol the help of my 19 year old son to locate the battery on my W203.
Wally or what?

Likewise - after a lifetime of filters accessed from underneath I had to resort to Mr Hayes (I had wondered what that black thing with 25Nm written on it was).

The chances are is that you have a dip stick, when you get your next car you will not have one

all those qualifications, is that where the saying " Jack of all trades master of none " comes from?
There is a joke there somewhere just in case you lack a sense of humour:lol:
