self oil change

[vonivo]

Hello all i just picked up my new 3.5 black loaded with all the goodies on wednesday and i would like to be changig my oil and filter myself as i have always done, So my main ?'s are what size lugnut is on the oilpan? and where and how do i get to the filter. i wil be changing to dino juice at 1k miles and then at 3k ill be going the moble 1 or royal purple route.

btw i am still in awe over the cvt transmission it is outstanding i keep waiting for the gear switch but ......nope there is none with this transmission.....beautifull ;P

the nut on the drain is 14mm. The manual has a diagram to show you where the filter is. It's toward the passenger side of the engine, side mounted. I've always removed the weather shields from inside the wheel well and reached in to replace it. Someone said it can be accessed from the top. Just haven't tried that way.
