Step 4Remove Oil Filter
This is also a messy step, keep those rags handy...
Locate the Oil Filter
While the oil is draining, locate the oil filter. If your car is front wheel drive, the oil filter will be on the front or back of the engine. If your car is rear wheel drive, it will be on either the left or the right side of the engine.
Remove the Oil Filter
Unscrew the oil filter from the side of the engine.

If your oil filter is upside down(round side up), punch a hole in the round part and wait 5 minutes, trust me, it saves you a huge mess.

If it isn't you can also slowly unscrew it so that the oil leaks out and wait for it to mostly drain, then tentatively unscrew it and let it drain in your pan or bucket, that's helped me because most of the time the filters have been sideways on the oil pan.

true that! you wouldn't guess it before doing it yourself... the first time I did an oil change, I mistakenly upended the filter and was QUITE surprised at how much oil was inside of it! ...and how much mess it caused! haha
