Yes found that on the l/h side of the engine under a large air tube.

Looks fairly easy to change the oil filter. I'd rather have the maintainence / service parts readily accessible than say things like the starter motor which are usually pretty reliable & longlasting I would say that I havn't had to change a starter motor, on one of my own cars, in over 20 years (and Iv'e had quite a number of cars in that time).

It would appear from the manual that for virtually any job they put the car up on the body ramp these days and everything seems to be done from underneath. This was the same with my Scenic's as well. They are definitely made for garage repairing only now.
