Torx screws holding the Direct Ignition Cassette in place (driver/wrench is in the toolkit in the trunk if you lack one). Pull up the cassette and lay aside. Pull out your plug wrench and remove the plugs. All right on top. If it takes more than 10 minutes complete, you stopped for a beer break. Oil filter is right up front, drops directly down, which is nice as the oil doesn't pour out like the side mount types. The plug is a little annoying as it is in the back of the pan. I usually jack up the body a little on one side to make it easier to get under the engine ... but you can do it with the car on the ground once you know what you are doing. Bob
