Hello I just wanted to double check I have this right. The oil filter on a zetec 1.8 2003 is on the drivers side behind the wheel and the sump plug is located underneath towards the back?.

I was looking ever where for it and couldn't see it.

Thanks.

    Anyone. I've had a look but still can't seem to find it.

    I thought the filter was pretty high up on the rear of the engine, not sure you will see it with the wheel and liner off unless you get right under it

    Ok thanks. Bit of hassle to find it but if I'm in the right place that helps.

    Thank you.

    1.8 petrol? Its a little awkward to see from the top, you need to lean right over the drivers side and look down the back, you should spot a grey/black/white filter. I always jack the car up and remove the front right wheel to access it, reaching up through a gap between the suspension.
