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.
