What is the procedure in changing the oil & oil filter on a 2008 ford escape hybrid? where do the o-rings go?

i know that you MUST change the o-rings when changing the oil filter as said in the owner's manual, but I'm afraid to remove the oil and filter without knowing where the o-rings go before hand. and i hate to keep going to the dealership because they charge $45-$50 per oil change!What is the procedure in changing the oil %26amp; oil filter on a 2008 ford escape hybrid? where do the o-rings go?
the guy that said about the cartridge filter is correct.....be carefull...if you don't keep a record of the oil change(Receipt of purchase of filter and oil) the dealer that you go to may void your warrenty if something goes wrong due to you changing the filter...and since fords kinda in a crunch right now...the void stamper is really getting used.What is the procedure in changing the oil %26amp; oil filter on a 2008 ford escape hybrid? where do the o-rings go?
The o-rings go on the oil filter , in grooves at the top , always make sure the old ones come off! Physically take the old one off with you hand and feel the area where your oil filter screws into , sometimes they will stick there and not come off . Just put a little oil on the new filter o-rings when you install new one , this will prevent it from drying out and cracking and causing leaks , and also , it will be easyier to take off next time ..
its not a traditional screw on filter its actually a cartridge element, the small o-ring goes on new cartridge, the large one goes on the cover you remove to change cartridge (filter)
