    Jack her up, will be underneath somewhere, not sure of the 6's have a scrape plate protector? if it does, just unbolt it and drop it off.

    you will see the base of an alloy pan behind the radiator, it has lines casted into it, sump plug is on the passengers side of the sump, oil filter is ryco z154, when you replace the oil filter make sure the old o-ring comes off and when you tighten lubricate the new filters o-ring, dont over-tighten the filter, just till it stops than 3/4 of a turn is all its needs
