Yeah i've done mine a few times now. Assuming you have an ABZ engine it looks like this


Note there is a second drain plug that is the same as the sump plug, as the filter housing is higher than the sump and it holds quite a bit of oil.
If you buy a genuine oil filter kit it'll have 2 new crush washers for the plugs and 2 different size O rings for the filter housing.

There is a how to linky doodar in the list here, Click me linky doodar
