Oil filter location - 2007 ION 2 4 door

Simple question - where is the oil filter on 2007 ION 2 Automatic 4
door?

Thanks a lot,
Mark

Time to get a Haynes or Chilton, my friend. it'll help lots. Seriously, the
ION has an ecotec engine. Raise the hood, look at the front to the car near
the center, see that odd looking black cap near the yellow oil dipstick?
That's the oil filter location. IONS have the oil filter built in the engine
housing and use a special (but inexpensive) paper cartridge filter) that
drops in that place. You will need a special socket (about $4. at an auto
parts store) to get it off. Inside is a paper cartridge (about $7 to $9. )
sitting upright . Remove it, lube the new one, lube the cap top, drop it in,
gently screw the plastic top back on (not too tight), reset the oil change
indicator, done. Cheers.
