just going off of basic knowledge (not specific to the sc) lift the car up and look undereath and there should be a drain plug under there just undo that and have a pan there to catch all the oil that comes out. after all the oil drains out make sure you put the plug back in and then add the new oil. im not sure where the filter is though

not sure about the sc400, but just look at the engine and if you do not see a filter, jack the car up and look under the engine bay might be there.. oil drain should be very noticeable..

just look for a pan that has a bolt to the side of it and that most likely be it

If you know how to do an oil change, then you could have figured it out easily where things were, once you are under the car. Is this thread really necessary?

kind of contradicting isnt it....instead of making threads asking where the filter is, get your hands dirty and look..you could have already changed your oil in the time it took you to make this thread

i have 2 sc400's and if you have to ask where the oil filter is and the drain plug is then you probably shouldn't be trying to do an oil change. not really hating on you. just being realistic. i help a lot of my friends do their oil change and never once did i have to ask them where the filter is or the drain plug is.

OP, consider doing a forum search on this subject. MANY people have posted this info in the past.

BTW, an SC4 oil change is very simple/easy once you get the car up and remove the plastic shroud ...

Use a flash light when looking under the (center) engine compartment, you will see a large black receptacle with a centered lug nut. loosen the lug nut to drain the oil.
