hi there

 

If you look at the front of the engine there is a plastic canister just above the oil filter, The top of this screws off anti- clockwise and there is a small filter inside which can be purchased from an independent motor factors, If you have trouble getting the top off use a pair of oil filter plyers.

Depending on the year of your C5 you may find a large ring to remove as Naylor said. On a later model the top of the filter has a large (32mm from memory) plastic bolt head. Use a close fitting socket on it.
