Smile 2010 RX350 FWD DIY oil change

Anyone done the DIY oil change? If so a couple of questions.
Where is the oil filter?
What are the torque values for the filter, filter drain plug and pan drain plug?

It's a housing encased filter, not a spin-on, near the front of the car just to the passenger side. You will see the oil pan and plug behind it. All very easy to get to with no belly pan to remove. Torque would be a sensibly snug fit, not a strong grip two handed tightening. As for removing the valve in the filter you will need long nose pliers.
Why not make it easy on yourself and have your dealership show you if you have any doubts?
