How do I change the oil filter on a Ford Escort?

I have a 1998 Ford Escort Sport, auto Transmission and I need to change the oil filter but don't know where it is!How do I change the oil filter on a Ford Escort?Look underneath the engine, and look upward, on the side of the engine that faces the firewall, where the right side axle shaft is, you'll see the oil filter, just above the shaft. If you have the 2.0L SPI engine, it's a Ford/Motorcraft FL-400S oil filter. It's a FL-2005, if it's a 2.0L DOHC Zetec engine. When refilling, it is a 4.5 litres of 5W30 oil of your choice. The size to remove the drain plug is 15mm size wrench for 2.0L SPI, and 13mm for 2.0L DOHC Zetec. Hope this helps.How do I change the oil filter on a Ford Escort?You're welcome!!!
