take off your valve cover, and look at the oil fill neck from the bottomside of the cover
theres a little plastic notch that you have to pull out while turning the neck
I used a tool with a hook on the end, kinda like a dentist scraper thing
If you mechanically inclined at all, you will figure it out when you pull off the valvecovers
