I'm preparing to complete an oil and filter change on my son's 2018 Atlas with the 3.6 L engine. I just want to get prepared and would like to know the location of the oil filter housing. Thanks for some advice.

The filter is a cartridge type located under the front and almost center of the engine. You will have to remove the front underpan to access it.
