Default very easy

Your filter should be in the spare tire well in the US passenger side forward corner. The easy factor depends on how much junk is in your trunk. Once there...its a simple matter of undoing the clamps and replacing the filter. Make sure you have some rags and a fire extinguisher at hand and use a safe lamp such as a battery powered LED flashlight. NEVER use a incandescent or unsealed florescent lamp anywhere near fuel.

Just about any brand will do. Wix is good and usually available at your local NAPA. Get two and keep one in the spare tire well as a spare incase you clog up on the road, at night. Get some new Fuel injection style high pressure clams while your at the auto parts store just in case. Get the good ones over the counter, not the junk in the HELP packages.

Bosch, Wix, AC Delco....all fine for your Jag. Any of the name brands should be OK.

Cheers
