I have a 2008 JCW and was wondering where the oil filter is. I have done a search and could not find anything. I am thinking of changing the oil my self if I can find the filter.

GEN2 oil filter is sort of under the coolant overflow tank

you must move the overflow tank to get to the filter - you don't have to remove it tho, just remove the one holding bolt and you can move the tank enuf w/out disconnecting the hose or draining any coolant

be careful when you drain the oil the first time - several folks have pulled the first drain they found, and drained the transmission. The oil drain is an 8mm hex, and is on the passenger side . . .



the tranny side looks like this



there is a DIY guide in the 'how to' section of the GEN2 threads but be careful, there are booboo's like saying the oil drain is a torx fitting (a torx will fit, but clearly it is a hex)

Thanks everyone. Love the pictures. They are worth a thousand words. I now know where to look for everything.
