Thats a loaded question.Is it, where do I find it in the car or where dobuy it. If asking where do you find the oil filter in your car, well yes sometimes they hide lol.But really it isnt that hard to source them. TV Newspapers sides of buildings all advertise these thing as does most garages and service stations(oil only at most service stations tho) and so on.

Ok, thats great. the first thing you need to know is the above information. Honestly just take the car to repco and get them to take a look. If you look under the bonnet on the back wall there will be a tag with chassis number on it copy the numbers off that, then they will be able to id what you want.

You can find out what you need from home, but you will still need to make a trip to buy the items. Find out what type of oil you need online, then shop around for the best deal. All automotive parts stores will have a book with oil filter information so that you can get the correct one.

Tell us what sort of car you have, many of us have that info. I got a filter book in the garage.

If you would like to know the specific oil recommendations for your vehicle, post the info here and I will reply with the correct specs.

If the filter info isn't on the Ryco NZ site, try the Ryco Oz site as they can vary due to different models being available in each country.

API ratings are still the most common we see in NZ, though ILSAC & ACEA are becoming far more common place.
