How do you get to the oil filter for a 2004 Porsche Cayenne? My next door neighbor is a Lexus mechanic, and when he looked at the underside of my car he said that there were some sheilds underneath and that the oil filter was not easily seen. Do you have to remove one the sheilds to get to the oil filter?
