Should be front of the engine bay on the passenger side. You'll probably see the canister better from underneath.

When looking at the engine from the top, it is on the right side of the engine. It has a black plastic cover on it, it will take a 1" 1/4 or so socket with a long extension on it. 03-05 Cavaliers don't have a canister for the oil filter; it’s more like cartage. You can not change it from underneath; it has to be done from the top. I do the oil changes on mine.

Suggested Repair
On a 2003-2005 Cavalier, the oil filter is a cartridge under a black plastic cover on the right side of the engine when viewed from above. Remove it from the top with about a 1-1/4 inch socket and a long extension; it is not a canister and is not changed from underneath.
Conversation Summary
The owner of a 2004 Chevrolet Cavalier LS asked where the oil filter is located. One reply said it is at the front of the engine bay on the passenger side and may be easier to see from underneath. A more specific reply said 2003-2005 Cavaliers use a cartridge-style filter, not a canister, on the right side of the engine under a black plastic cover, and that it must be changed from the top with roughly a 1-1/4 inch socket and a long extension.
