We are getting close as well. Once you figure it out, could you take some photos and or create a how to for the rest of us. 😀
Thank you. Got it. Love this forum.
Another question, I changed the oil and filter thanks to your pictures and info. When I drained oil out I only got a little less than 6 qts. My owners manual says 6.45 us qts. So I put in 6.45 qts. I ran the engine a few minutes and let it sit for 2 hours. I checked the dipstick and it showed way over full. I mean way over. So I drained out 18 oz ( little over 1/2 qt). So my oil amount is just shy of 6 qts not 6.45 as the manual calls for. With just less than 6 qts it is now showing full at the top of the range on the dip stick. What’s up? Is owners manual wrong?I did an oil change the other day. The filter is accessed from the bottom, passenger's size. You will see housing approximately the diameter of the filter with large nut on top of it (22 OR 24MM, don't remember for sure). Make sure you change orings and don't overtighten. No covers need to be removed except the engine cover on top.
Easy to get to on the passenger side. At back of oil pan. Filter easy to get to also. Lots of oil comes out of the filter housing. Rest from drain plug. My car was perfectly level when changing. Don’t know how any oil could be left.Where was the drain plug when you changed the oil? Is it pretty obvious? I haven't looked under the car as of yet.
Does anyone know what torque to tighten the oil filter cap to?I did an oil change the other day. The filter is accessed from the bottom, passenger's size.

I was told by the dealership (MA) that it would be ~$75 (synthetic oil). Not sure what else it includes (tire rotation etc.).I went to two different oil change shops and they wouldn't do the oil change. They said its too new- you have to go to the dealer. How much will that cost me? And no, I don't want to do it myself.
