Oil filter location / removal:

- Remove the upper engine cover.
- Unplug the EGR valve connector (#2 on the figure).
- Remove the oil filter housing cover, a 36mm socket is required.

Tightening torque: 26 Nm (19 lbf ft).

Oil drain plug is located on the bottom of the sump (pan), accessed by removing the lower engine cover. Tightening torque 18 Nm (13 lbf ft) - don't forget a new seal.

The information, from WIS, pertains to a MY2004 9-5 2.2 diesel.
