Where is the oil filter located on a 2001 Chevy Malibu?

On a 2001 Chevy Malibu, the oil filter is typically located on the passenger side (right side) of the engine, towards the front. It's usually fairly accessible, but you might need to consult a repair manual or look up a diagram specific to your engine (3.1L V6 or 2.4L I4 are common in that year) for the exact location. You'll likely need to remove some undercarriage plastic covers to get a good view of it.
