Want to change my oil and filter on my 2008 Santa Fe. How do I access the oil filter?...from top or underneath? Can't see much from underneath with the splash guard. It's so much easier on my '02 SF! Suggestions?

The oil filter is visible under the hood, to the right (Driver Side) of the engine, under the decorative engine cover. You need to take off the plastic engine cover (two bolts and four screw nuts) to expose it. It is in a cylinder with a black plastic cap, which screws off to show the oil filter. The filter is a filter canister, as it doesn't have a outside metal cover to it. In the box with your new oil filter comes two "O" rings, one small and one big. The big one replaces the "O" ring at the top of the screw part of your black cap and the small one goes on the bottom of the same cap. You can get the filters at most stores, as they are sold under the FRAM and PUROLATOR brand in the US. The Fram one seems to be made by the same person as the OEM, but its about 1/2 the price.

Thanks for the info... really appreciate it!
