Which engine the V6 or the 4?, on the V6 the oil filter is right behind the radiator (looking underneath the car) and easy to get to, no tools needed for the filter removal, just for the oil change bolt.

Autozone, Advance Auto Parts, just ask for the filter socket for the Ecotec engine. Same one fits all. I think the # 14700.

The oil filter housing is on the driver's side of the engine block. It has a black cap with a black hex bolt on top of the cap. You can buy a special tool to remove the cap or you can do what I did. I took a 12-pt. 1 1/16" socket (you can probably use a 6 pt. socket as well) and cut it in half. Works perfectly.
#273 of 275 O-ring on the oil filter by barkernr

Where is this o-ring everyone keeps talking about? I have never found an o-ring on the cap to my oil filter cap.I purchased a fram oil filter, which had an orange o-ring included in the package. I attempted to put that o-ring on top of the threads of the oil filter cap, but when I screwed the cap down the o-ring worked itself out. I just threw it out and screwed on the cap. Did I just do something wrong?

If it does not leak you did nothing wrong, you are suppose to remove the old o-ring then install the new one. If the old o-ring is not damaged, it can be used over.
