I don't do much work on cars anymore. They've gotten way to complex and often require special tools. However I still try to change my own oil and do limited other low level maintanance. I just purchased a 2006 Toyota Highlander, V-6 (NOT the Hybrid) and I can't even find the oil filter, much less change it. Can anyone tell me where it is on the engine? I guess that I will probably have to give up even this simple task!
