id go with the Mobil M1-110.

Procedurally what i have posted is what you would do on your Si, your oil filter is in nowhere near as convenient a location as the R18 filter is though

Hi, I bought my oil filter (M1-110) + a drain plug, but i'm not sure if that's the right one..

its a M12-1.75 Pilot Point with molded gasket.. Is it the right one?

For the Si its a little more complicated, the oil filter is tucked under the front axle on the passenger side. Easiest way I've found is to take off the wheel, and reach in through the bottom of the wheel well. Should be able to get it off without a oil filter remover. It drops oil all over your axle though. Sh*tty.
