Where is my Oil Filter (2.2 Ecotec)

[shockz]

I've looked everywhere for my oil filter.

Either I don't know what it looks like and its right in front of my face (probably)
or its hidden somewhere.

So... where is it.

I have the 2.2L Ecotec Engine.

I dont have an exact location, and I cant remember off hand, but I believe it is in this general area about 8-10 inches down, looks like a cylinder shaped object....Oh, and BTW this isnt the typical engine bay shot of our cars, it is Redog's Custom CAI setup I believe...

Its where I circled in red.

I usually took it to Lube Stop, or my friends dad who's a mechanic... but I wanted to do it this time.

OK. One more question.... where is the drain plug?

At the bottom of the oil pan? If you look under your car it's kind of hidden by some plastic shrouding IIRC...

OR...
