Oil Filter Location on Rav4

I just purchased a used 2005 Rav4 with only 3700 miles.



Several minutes of looking hasn't led me to the oil filter, and it isn't mentioned in the owner's manual. A Google search surprisingly came up empty.



Can anyone put me out of my misery? Where in the world is the oil filter? I hope this isn't like my other car, a Honda Element, where the oil filter isn't accessible without ramps or a lift - for the first time in my life I have to have a mechanic change the Element's oil.

Hey! MyBrainHurts, too. Mr Gumby!

At any rate, IIRC, it is in front of the passenger's side tire, behind the bumper and the front of the 'frame'. You may have to remove a panel or shroud to get to it.

Not a problem - thanks so much. That sounds fairly user-friendly.
