Where is the oil filter located in a 2003?

Where is the oil filter located in the 2003 grand am? It takes a paper oil filter, I already have. But I am embarrased to say I can't find it! The manual tells me nothing.
Thanks ahead of time!

i take it you have the ecotec engine.it is inside a housing under the intake manifold.too the right unscrew the cap from the housing and install the paper element.the cap is black plastic and requires a socket to remove it.
