It's in the tank attached to the fuel pump. You don't need to change it though.

under the rear seat is a hatch

and here is the filter on the end of the pupm housing.

but as stav say's you should not need to replace it

What do you mean you don’t need to change the fuel filter I have a 2006 gs300 and I was told my fuel filter was bad that’s why my car isn’t starting up it cranks over but no start it did start up once and plutter then died now it won’t start Battery is good too.

The fuel filter is attached to the pump in the fuel tank. It isn’t changed regularly as part of a service but clearly if you have a fuel delivery issue then the filter and pump should be inspected.

My 2006 gs300 awd Lexus first started running rough then vibrating and started to plutter then I went to leave & it wouldn’t start but crank over it not the Battery that is good so left it alone two days later I try starting it again and it started right up then plutter out & died & hasn’t start up again but cranks over a friend told me it was the fuel filter so I called to get it fix and was told there wasn’t a fuel filter in this car so now I’m confused & don’t know what to do or how to even find out what’s wrong with it because I can’t drive it to know shop have any ideal..?
