The big air intake on the top of the engine comes off with 2 steps. First if you look at either side in the front (closest to the bumper) you'll see a metal clip that you flip down (like the metal clamps you normally see that releases an air filter housing). Flip those two clamps down and then just pull up...whole thing comes off the top...the two thin rectangular intake pipes coming from the front just slide out.....the oil filler extension needs to be twisted off as well....the round pipes on the passenger side I just left attached cuz both the oil filter and dipstick tube are on the drivers side. Dipstick tube (will just be a black cover that doesn't have the dipstick part) is right at the front part of the engine.
Hope this helps...

Is this the oil tube? It's the middle black cover that looks like a dipstick for something.

Do you also replace the oil filter along with an oil change? I am new to this DIY oil change hence would like to understand this more.

It looks like the initial service for MY2017 vehicles in the USA comes up at 10,000 miles now.
