thought that finding the filter would be easy. But no.
Also have to get a bigger oil drain pan. Able to put the plug back in before the pan overflowed.
And Damn - could there be any more belly pan screws?

LOL...honey, get me some tupperware containers, quick!!!
that bellypan is a joke...whenever I have the time and inclination to change my oil (which may be never), I'm going to Dremel a hole in the bellypan to make oil changes possible w/o removing the whole thing. stupidest oversight ever.
the oil filter location is actually pretty nice, though...no contortionist maneuvers necessary.

Just remember to do the oil filter first, then drain the oil.
Because when you open the filter housing, it opens a valve which releases the filter housing oil down into the crankcase. If you do the filter last, a 1/2 qt (or so) of dirty oil dumps into your engine.
