The oil filter in the '97 ES is located in front and underneath the exhaust manifold. You'd have to access the filter from under the hood, not from under the car. IMO, this is not a very good design on the part of the engineering dept of Lexus, as oil will spill out when unscrewing the filter. BTW, you will need to wear some long-sleeved clothing when removing the old filter, as the exhaust manifold is extremely hot and could burn your arm or hand. If necessary, get yourself a good swivel filter wrench to only remove the filter (I only use my hands to install a new filter).
If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to ask. BTW welcome to CL!
