The oil filter is actually in the front of the engine, in the center and facing directly down. The reason it is hard to spot is that it doesn't look like a regular oil filter. It has a permanent metal housing with a screw-off black plastic cap, and you replace the filter element inside.
The cap is black plastic with a metal screw hole in the center. If you look carefully at the black cap, you'll see it has the moldings to fit a oil filter wrench.

What does service emission system warning mean on a ford escape hybrid 2005?
The 2009 Ford Escape Hybrid Owners Manual states 1000 lbs. However Ford towing guide does not recommend towing with Hybrid Escape. I believe Ford states that the Hybrid is "capable" of Flat/Neutral tow, yet not recommended for towing. http://www.fordvehicles.com/assets/pdf/towing/08ESP_towing.pdf
The hybrid can run on alternative fuels, and the regular one cannot. Wrong! What you are describing is the Flex Fuel Escape. The Escape Hybrid is a Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) which uses a battery and an electric motor to supplement the power, and therefore the gas mileage of the gas engine.
