I'm not sure about the 2008, but the 2007 with a 3.8 engine has a heavy plastic plate under the engine that has to be removed to get at the drain plug. The plate has 5 bolts that take a 12mm wrench or socket to remove and the plug is in a strange looking pan just above the front 2 bolts on the plate. The filter is a canister type filter located on the back side of the engine under another plastic plate on top of the engine. It has 1 bolt 10mm toward the front passenger side. Remove this bolt and pop the plate loose from 3 mounting pegs. The filter top screws off and the filter is removed from the top. Make sure to replace the O-Rings that come with the filter. I usually use a filter wrench to loosen the filter cap.
