Nothing unusual except the filter location.

Oil and Filter Change
Only the filter was hard to find. In the picture below, shot from the front left, it's that flash of orange above the red parts on the alternator. Basically the filter is below the intake manifold on the firewall side of things.
Here's a shot from the left. The filter is below the third pipe from the left.
It's much easier to see in real life. I used a cap-style filter wrench with a short extension on my socket wrench instead of a strap style. Once it's loose it drops to a place where it's easy to reach.
