Hi,
I have a 2006 Hyundai Tuscon and I'm trying to change the oil for first time. I looked everywhere for the oil filter and I couldn't believe where I found it. Its located under the front bumper and I can hardly get my hands on it. What a bad spot. Does anyone have any tips on its removal? I'm thinking I need a special tool.
Thanks,
Dean

First, what engine (2.0 4-cly or 2.7 V6)? Based on where you say it is, I'm assuming it's the 2.7L V6.
Remember, that engine is used on many different cars and they don't generally move the oil filter location for the different cars. On my Tib, it's in the same place and very easy to get to. My suggestion to you is to use an oil filter strap wrench and access it from the passenger side wheel well instead from under the car.
Hope that helps.

OMG Dude If you cant figure out how to take off the Plastic skid plate I dont think you should be changing your own oil... ( LMAO )
But seriously I removed that P.O.S plastic skid plate the first OIL change I did on my Tucson in 2005... lol ... and never put it back on...
