hello all,

I wanted to change the oil myself on my Audi A8 but couldn't find the oil
filter??  Yes I know, someone who spend 50k+ on a car should have someone
else change the oil, but i like doing it myself for it keeps me in touch with
my car and i find it fun.  So, where is the oil filter?  Is it inside some
kind of aluminum housing?  Is it easy to get to?  Do I need a special tool?
i bought a K&N gold performance oil filter for it, is this wise?  I also
bought 6 quarts of Castrol 20W/50  is this a good idea considering how hot it
is (90+) and how fast I tend to drive (90+) ??

please advise and thank you in advance.
