DIY Oil Change 2008 Highlander - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I may be a little stupid here, but where is the oil filter located on the '08 Highlander? Went to purchase a new filter and the box contained a paper filter. Would appear that the traditional oil filter is not being used on the Highlander.

Any info would be much appreciated.
