Hi... I was looking for it for about 2 hours as all videos showing it is located under the car beside the plug. However it is located under the air filter so you need to remove the air filter box to access it.
But how do you get the inclosure open?

Sorry, my mistake. I was looking at the yoke to the right back of your hand. Thanks a million. That's it, right where your finger is pointing. I had to push the two tubes out of the way, as taking them off = water spilling out. I had to use a big shifting spanner to remove the cover then brfake/rip out the filter. That's no problem, as the new one fits in the housing cover you screw it of, then the lot screws in again and theres a small spout which slots itself in to the oil filter feed hole, as you screw it in again. Iwas 3 hours looking for mine?
