If you cant find it on your own, you might not want to change it yourself. It can get messy.

Dryblaze is correct,it is located on side of your engine just below the intake,I change my filter from the top,there is enough room to reach it from the top,after spray some brake cleaner around the filter are and then rinse it off with a hose,I recommend to use a Toyota filter to reduce the chance of the filter gasket leak as the aftermarket ones are known to do...

who here didnt start learning how to fix their own car from changing their own oil? let the guy learn, get his hands dirty... a word or warning tho... once you start doing it yourself... it can get addictive good luck.

Oh also remember to buy the ring from lexus, youll need that.

An oil filter is not hard at all and is not messy at all.....

Just drain your oil (hopefully you knew you had to do that before removing oil filter)

Then stick you arm under the intake runners and unscrew. If you cna reach it then go under the car and do it.

Its very very simple.
