All right. I've been changing the oil on my own cars for many years. I've had Toyota's, Acuras, Mitsubishi's, Volkswagens,etc. Now I'm thinking of trying to change the oil on my wife's 03 Volvo S40, AND I CAN'T EVEN FIND THE FILTER! I do a search to see what they look like, and I'm getting this paper looking cartridge with a rubber O-ring.
I have found this "filter-sized" black plastic thing under the block, and I'm presuming that the filter "cartridge" is in there.
Anyone out there do an oil change on a Volvo before? I'm feeling pretty stupid about now. Is the filter in a plastic "housing", and you just replace the cartridge?
HELP!

Thanks for everyone's friendliness and helpfulness. Geez, I see why this club is not as popular as the "other" one.
FWIW, I managed to get the task completed. It certainly is much more of a pain than on my Legacy, but I managed. I can change my oil in about 15 minutes. Took me almost an hour on the Volvo...oh well. Its done, and it's got 5.7 quarts of fresh Mobil 1 in it now!!!
So next time, try to open up you guys. 25 views and not a peep.
