Default 2011 GS battery

I have a 2011 GS and the battery is in the passenger side rear compartment. I thought they were under the hood. I was looking around and most I have seen are under the hood.

That is because your dry sump is where your battery would be. If you have a manual coupe you get some extra goodies over the vert or auto.

The dry sump motors are the only ones like this. The sump tank sits exactly where the battery and tray would be located.
