U225 with 5.9 Cummins -- Where is the oil filter???

I see a coolant filter, transmission fluid filter and a fuel separator filter but no oil filter? Can anyone point me to it?

All the filters you mention are remote to the engine.  The oil filter is ON the engine.  Look from under the coach and you will see it.

Thanks Wolfe. I see it now. It's tucked way back up in there on the driver's side by the alternator. Too bad I can't get at it with any wrench I have on hand -- at least not without a potential risk of breaking wires in that area. 
Can anyone recommend a filter wrench for this particular application?

Disregard. I was able to get a band wrench on it. Thanks again Wolfe.
