The small/secondary/injection/bypass one is down by the bottom of the dipstick tube and the main one is behind the exhaust on the other side of the engine .

You wont fill them with oil as one is upside down and one is at an angle. See the oil filter change sticky post on a very good tip to avoid mess with the angle one .

Do be sure that the old rubber seals come off with the old filters , can cause leaks if they dont Smile

It may not run properly and probably wont start in very cold weather.
