Wow, I feel like a fool. Been changing oil on Fords for years. I bought a 2007 Toyota Sienna and can't find the oil filter. Found the easy oil plug to drain though.

I think I have it figured out. It is NOT the traditional filter anymore. It is a special cartridge type. I have been comparing other Toyota models, and it appears the Toyota Avalon and the larger engine in the RAV 4 have this same cartridge. I found a toyota website that had a post from from the dealership on how to change this special "cartridge" type of filter. Looks cumbersome, but has the full description.

Toyota started using this style filter in 2005 when the 3.5 ltr engine was introduced.

I'm betting that eventually you will see insert style filters on all cars and recycling of these filters mandated.
