I haven't looked under my new SE, but is the oil filter and drain plug easily reached from underneath (while the front tires are on small homemade ramps which provide an additional 4 inches of clearance)? Do I need to remove some plastic panel or something to get at them?

 

assuming that it is in the same place as the 2k1 it is behind the right front tire. Turn the wheel all the way to the right as if you were turning. Look behind the flashing the little tiny filter should be right there. On ramps it should be a little more accessible. Good luck

 

OOOPS, Mark, I was able to get at my wifes 01 SE without blocks. With that said, I would have preferred blocks of course. Drain plug is easy and in plain sight. The filter is on the passenger side back, nearly directly behind the tire. There is a plastic sheild, debris plate, in the way, but you can still get to the filter with ease. Just twist your hand a bit and you'll be fine. If you have oil, or filter needs, shoot me and email and lets see what I can do for you.
