Its in the back of the engine near the rear exhuast pipe. Put your hand down in the rear of the engine kinda near the fuel filter and feel around on the engine until you feel a fuel filter thats where its at
It's a ***** to get to, I usually do mine by hand because I'm too lazy to try and get an oil filter wrench up in there... But if it's even a little bit too hard to get it with your hands go ahead and use the wrench so you don't break it off and get it stuck...

oil filter change
ok It took a LONG time to get all the right equipment and all. but it didn't take my friend and me too long to actually change the filter.
it's easier to find the filter by way of wrench from the bottom. but that was just for placement of the oil filter wrench cap. So I had my friend get the cap on, and from above, i would find wherever he put it, and just loosen it by hand. that ended workin out pretty well. i think we may have tightened it back on using the wrench from the top later. i dont remember that part well.
having a buddy always helps
