OK, I know this is probably a stupid post, but: I just took delivery on a ’07 650H1 – supposedly a XT, but I have my doubts – the hood has the XT sticker but I think it may not be the original hood – the thing is a repo I picked up off an auction. No owner’s manual, but from what I can find out about the owner’s manual, it’s somewhat worthless anyway.
Anyway – the thing runs great, started right up and except for needing to buy new tires the day I took delivery (the trucking company somehow tore out the sidewalls on two of the tires), it seems like a good purchase – but the 1st thing I want to do is change the fluids since I have no idea when, or if they have ever been changed.
Looking through the console I can’t find the oil filter anyplace or at least it’s not visible anyplace I can see. I downloaded and printed off the service manual and it mentions the filter but nothing as to its location – the parts blow ups I can find on the web also don’t show its location. Can anyone give this dumb person a brief description of where it goes? Remove the skid plate and under that? Also, the location of the fuel filter?
