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.

Today this is on the Yahoo page, full story link below, here is an excerpt:

“There was a time when the 3,000 miles was a good guideline,” said Philip Reed, senior consumer advice editor for the car site Edmunds.com. “But it’s no longer true for any car bought in the last seven or eight years."

I dunno, I have always been a 3K mile guy, hard to change my thinking.
