Or more correctly its under the exhaust manifold, which will be very hot after the car running.
Oil filterI may have found the answer for you.Oil filter is located inside a housing attached to the oil pan .Oil filter is not a spin on design it is cartidge style.And on the Edmunds site, there is apparently a PDF file from the service manual showing the change procedure.Here's where I found the info:http://www.tundrasolutions.com/forums/Avalon/46882-oil-filter-location-3-5l-2-a/
The oil filter on the 1997 Avalon is located on the side of the engine that is toward the front of the car. The filter will probably be so tight that you will have to use an oil filter wrench to remove it.
6.4 quarts of engine oil with filter change.
That is the oil filter
Unfortunatly for oil changers this filter will burn you good if the engine is hot. It is located directly below the front exhaust manifold.
Unscrew the old one, clean the mounting surface, oil the gasket on the new filter, screw the new filter on and tighten 3/4 turn after it makes contact with the mounting surface. The 3.5L motor in the 05' Avalon has a canister type oil filter located on the passenger, front side of the motor.
The 2006 Ford fiesta oil filter is located on the back side of the engine, near the oil pan. The filter can be best viewed from below the engine.
The 2006 six-cylinder Chevrolet Malibu oil filter is located on the rice side of the engine, near the bottom. The oil filter can be best viewed from beneath the engines.
The oil filter is located on the side of the engine near the top of the tire and may require the oil filter wrench to loosen turn the oil filter counter clockwise to remove it
from 2004 and newer they do not have oil filters, your 2006 does not use an oil filtrer.
The oil filter is located on the engine between the engine and firewall, above the right front axle/swing arm.
Yes, that is the correct Bosch filter for a 2003 Toyota Avalon.
