The filler hole is on the right hand side (drivers) about half way up. Use a 1/2 inch ratchet without a socket to loosen it. You can fill it from the top by removing gear shift lever (easier) and use the hole on right hand side to check level. You will need around 3.5 - 3.8 litres of oil.

I filled mine by running a hose into the filler hole behind the front right tyre (at full lock). Sounds like filling from the top might be easier - do you just pour it in at the base of the shifter?

I wouldn't want that smell getting inside my car.

Not exactly hard to use a pump and hose to fill through the "Filler Hole"

Not exactly hard to use a funnel either[emoji6] The op is asking where the filler hole is, doesn't strike me as someone who would own an oil pump, hence my suggestion.

I'm a novice too and was much more confident spending $3 on a pump than removing bits and pieces and risking spillage inside my nice clean minty fresh daily =)

Being someone who has not actually removed a shifter or seen this hole to pour into, i don't think either is harder than the other if you put your mind to it. I just personally dont like liquids inside my car because shit happens...

I used a funnel and just poured it in through the shifter hole. No mess because I went OCD with towels everywhere - Was much faster than using the filler hole.

Be careful using a 1/2" ratchet, I've seen a plug get stripped out because of it. You can get a cheap sump plug socket kit from SuperCheap which has a proper bit for it.

      Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics

      @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?

      Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
