Yeah, I like NJ, but the weather in Florida sure is warmer in winter. The oil fliter housing cap is a black pastic cap on the round metal cannister at the front of the engine. I have a special tool that I got from parts shop here that fits it perfectly and takes it off. You could probably also get one from the dealer or a standard oil filter wrench might work on it, but I haven't tried that.
