It's my first time changing the oil in my new Acura 3.2CL 2001 but I can't find where the oil filter is located and I didn't get a book to the car when I purchased it.
Can anyone tell me the filter is??

it is hard to see it is on the passenger side you will have to go under the car to get to it

You should be able to see it if you look at the lower side of the engine, front, behind the radiator. You MAY have to move part of the air deflection plastic attached to the lower side of the front end of the car.
Manufacturers use this to help cool the engine so that less coolant is necessary, and they can use a smaller radiator. This allows a smaller front profile, which means less drag and better fuel economy.
