Oil Filter

[ciaz]

I was looking under my 2010 Limited, and I can't locate the oil filter. Could someone point it out for me?

Seriously? I think its under or on the lower front of the engine now. I think you have to remove the skid plate to remove it.

Yes, it's underneath, near the front of the engine.

It's also a design with a replaceable element, similar to the Camry. You don't replace the whole filter. You drain it, remove the cover, replace the element, and put the cover back on.

Regular filter

This is probably just a mistake by Amazon (See image below)...

It sounds like everyone just changes the element now, but can you actually change the entire filter canister (Like older generations did), or is it really just the element and this is a mistake?

I just changed the oil a few weeks ago and yes, you just change the element. Besides, the OEM oil filter element only costs around $6 at the dealer.
