Between back surgery and knee replacement in the last few years, I only put on about 700 miles in the last 2 years on the original 19,600 since it was changed with Mobil 1 by the seller. I cannot find the oil filter (DON'T ASK FLEMINGTON CHEVROLET since that motor is TOO OLD for anybody in the service Department). I went on Google only to find about 4 different answers, some with removing bolts and so on. I was under the impression that all you need to do is just unscrew the old one and HAND tighten on a new one. I purchased a Mobil 1 filter Extended Performance #M1-111A. Figured there HAS TO BE an EXPERT HERE.

Driver side, back of motor underneath. Same as a gen 1 SBC. As long as you don't have or mess with the oil cooler, then its a simple unscrew and replace filter. No big deal.
