Yes! If you open up your hood and look down the front part of the engine at the bottom you will see it hangin down there. :D

It IS pretty damn small but you can see it. I recomend the filter removal tool that is like a giant socket that fits over the end of the filter and you can loosen it with a ratchet.

Do you know what size tool I should get for the oil filter removal. Hey thanks for your help kdanie. I opened the hood and looked for it but didn't see. I'll take a closer look tommorrow. I hate those smart a$$es that says read your manual so they can just be a post whore. Instead of just giving up relevant info.

I believe the filter wrench you buy should be number 1 or the smallest one available. But, to make sure I took the filter in to the shop to make sure. I actually use the one from my Honda (wrench) because Hondas new filters are really small as well.

Here's a pic I took of the filter location showing the oil drain bolt as well. The black thing that is really close to the camera is the splash guard of the front bumper. I didn't have to lift the car to get to either the drain bolt or filter 8)
