Reference Page 8-11 in the manual for a quick visual. From underneath the car, the oil filter is on the passenger side hidden behind a plastic cover. Took me a second to find it since its hidden...but very accessible.

thanks. so we have to remove the plastic cover to replace the oil filter? look likes it has a lot of screw to remove it.

No, you do not need to remove the plastic cover. The bottom is loose enough to slide your hand through and remove/install the oil filter.
