On the 2.7L It has a traditional spin on filter. If you are under the car from the front side; look up at the plastic covering/cowling. You will see an access hole that is about 4 inches in diameter---just bigger than the oil filter diameter itself to give you access to the oil filter. The filter is up inside this access hole by about 6 inches.

If you have the 3.3L, it is a canister type filter. It is located on the top of you engine compartment, under the hood, to the right (Driver Side) of the engine and left of your battery. You need to take off the plastic engine cover (two bolts and four screw nuts) to expose it. It is cylinder in shape with a black plastic cap, which screws off. The filter is in the canister.
