I have a 2004 VUE, v6, AWD. I'd like to do my own oil change, as I have done for all of my other vehicles, but I haven't yet been able to find the oil filter! I'll admit that I haven't looked real hard, but I did spend a few minutes looking from the top, and also crawled underneath (without jacking it up), and it hasn't jumped out at me. Does this engine use a standard filter, or is it one of those "cartridges" like has been discussed for the Ion?
If anyone knows what type of filter it is, and where it is located, I'd really appreciate the help. I haven't looked for the drain plug yet, but I'm assuming (hoping) that one will be obvious. :-)
Thanks!
