Two questions please.

1) I can see the oil drain plug through a open area in the plastic tray covering the underneath of the engine. Where is the oil filter? Do I reach up through the small open area by the oil drain plug? Can I reach it w/o putting the car on jack stands?

2) Second, I need to do a drain and fill of the transmission. Where is it located and do I have to take the plastic tray off cover the bottom of the engine to reach it? If I have to take it off, I see some normal bolts but also some plastic 'bolt's holding the plastic cover on. How do those come off? Also, how many quarts of transmission fluid does a drain and fill take?

Thank you for the help.
