"I've been looking for the oil filter in my 4.3 V6. All I can see is a canister that has two hoses one goes in and the other goes out, the one that goes out looks like it's going toward the controller. Is this my oil filter?

"Neither 1 of them is your oil

"Neither 1 of them is your oil filter. The 1st one is your power trim motor which takes motor oil by the looks of it, it may need topped off 10w30 oil. The 2nd one is your water fuel seperator. Keep looking your almost there. Looking at front of motor right side in back is where it should be."
