To change the oil filter, it helps to have a good filter wrench. After trying all types, I've settled on the plier type. Got it at Kmart for $10. You just need a socket 12mm or 13mm for the oil drain. Use synthetic if you have a turbo.
The fuel filter should be under the passenger side rear wheel well area. The first time I did it, I couldn't get the banjo fittings off because the previous person put in on so tight and little corrosion. You must use new banjo washers small and large ones when replacing the filter. You will also need some big wrenches, 17-19mm, can't remember, to hold the filter in place. Also, I've read it helps to open the gas filler cap when doing it to minimize pressure. I've had gas splash in my face.
