Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone can tell me where the oil filter and draining screw is located and where to by a new one.
Thanks

the oil filter is located within the pully on the end of the crank under the rear engine mount. It is a centrifugal filter and must be cleaned not replaced. once the rear panel (and bumper) is removed it is simple to do.

Hi Bruce
Thanks for you help, is it difficult to clean without removing the rear panel, how often does it need to be clean.
Thanks
