Sure, the oil filter is remotely located under the hood on the drivers side or on the engine. They also put it near the core support. Drain the oil in the pan first then use a bunch of shop towels to help with mess or the filter is under the drivers side of the engine, diagram (below)

i think it's remotely mounted.
as in, it's not on the engine block.

look in the front corners under the hood, behind the headlights.

On my 93 S-10 blazer with a 4.3 V6 it is a remote filter located under the air cleaner behind the driver side headlight. Have to move the air cleaner to change the oil filter.

Oil filter is located behind an access door under the front steering cover panel. Look for the panel straight back from the center of the bumper. You need a straight blade screwdriver or a penny or even the back of a knife blade to turn the release screw 1/4 turn the panel hinges down and the filter is up in behind it. be aware that it lays flat and WILL leak oil on you if your under it. While your changing the filter wipe down the connection where the oil lines join the filter block and check the crimps for leaks.
