I changed my oil and filter yesterday, I think I saw it stamped on the block near the filter (viewed from underneath)

They're on the timing belt covers as well. Look at the plastic covers when standing beside the front right wheel and you'll see it on a metal plate riveted to the covers on the front bank of cylinders.
