How do I replace the oil filter? Do I unscrew the UFI cap in the engine and change the filter there only than replace the filter insert does the filter drain under the car at all or just on the top? I located the oil plug under the car is that the only place you drain the oil.

Good evening.

I attached a picture of the oil filter location and components.

Yes, there is only one drain plug for the oil pan. Pull the drain plug under the vehicle then loosen the cap on the oil filter and let it drain down before removing the filter.
