Anyone know where the oil filter is located on the 2010 Trail Edition? I have looked on 3 different occaisions and have not had any luck.

Have you looked from underneath? Looking up from below on the drivers side you might see it towards the front.

I have been under and had the skid plates off and still did not find it. Will look again in the location you specified.

By now, you probably found the answer but I'll post this anyways. The new engines use a canister or cartridge type filter which is located under the engine. Instead of replacing an oil filter, we have to remove this cap, take out the filter element, and install new o-rings and a new filter element then reinstall the canister cap. I saw pics somewhere by doing a google search.
