Where is the oil filter located on a 1989 Chevy Blazer?

On a 1989 Chevy Blazer (assuming a small block V8, the most common engine), the oil filter is typically located on the passenger side of the engine, toward the front. It's usually fairly easily accessible, though the exact position can vary slightly depending on the specific engine (e.g., 2.8L V6, 4.3L V6, 5.7L V8, 6.2L V8) and any aftermarket modifications.

To be certain, you should:

* Consult your owner's manual: This is the most reliable source.

* Look at a diagram: You can find diagrams online by searching for "1989 Chevy Blazer [engine size] oil filter location".

* Visually inspect the engine: Look for a cylindrical canister near the front passenger side of the engine block. It will likely have a threaded top for removal.

Be careful when locating it, as the engine can be hot. Allow it to cool down completely before attempting any maintenance.
