I cannot find the oil filter on my girlfriend's car. Can and will you tell me where it is located?

You have what is called a cartridge style oil filter so it is not the easiest to find. I attached the replacement procedure from the manual that shows where it is located. Let us know if you have other questions.

Also, here is a guide that will help as well with changing oil just for your reference in case you need it. Thanks
