Quite right; from the pic it looks like you have the 2.5L engine (5 cyl, right?). Look at the very back of the engine on the driver's side; you will see a metal can between the engine and the firewall..that is the filter housing.

No, but close.... its the 2.2L 4-cylinder. Should be the same though?

Thanks!

Don - thanks for that tip!
