Default RS3 Oil and Filter change

OK, so the owners manual only says, to take the car to the dealer. I'd like to change the oil and filter early after engine break in.

I called the dealer for the filter part number:
Oil Filter
OEM - 06D115562 $16.75 which is a cartridge style filter

I looked in the engine compartment expecting to see a housing but even after removing the engine cover, I can't seem to locate one... I've done the requisite googling but still no luck.

Who done an oil change and can tell me where to find the housing?

And yes, as a fairly accomplished garage mechanic I'm ashamed to ask.

OK, that's strange that the dealer told you that it fits since this website says that does *NOT* fit the 2018 RS3:
