It's located in the rear of the engine bay on the left side of the car. You really have to reach in there to get it out. You might need a flashlight to see it, but once you learn where it is, you'll be able to reach in blindly and grab it. To get it out, you just get your finger in the hole in it, and yank it out. If you haven't changed it in a while, it might take a really hard yank.
