I am experienced in auto repair, but I don't see an obvious oil filter under the car. There is a filter-sized metal housing on top and in the center of the front of the engine. Any Ideas? I don't have an owners manual, and no Chiltons is available.

the filter is on top more or less up front of the engine. its not like a conventional filter. get a replacement and ull see what i mean. its not very hard to find, just becarefull with tha cover im not sure if its metal or plastic. good luck

The Filter sized metal housing on top would be it.
