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 wi=
th
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.

edward
