Can anyone help with the location of the OCV filters? Looking to change the OCV due to bank 2 misfires, might as well change the filters too, but can’t find them.

They are right next to VVT solenoids, on the transmission side of engine head. You have 1 per bank. It's 10mm head bolt that holds cap in place. They are not that hard to get to.
Be VERY careful removing them. Filter is basic metal mesh strainer filter but its base is some sort of brittle plstic with prongs and those prongs snap very easily. If I were you'd I'd have pulled VVT solenoids out same time and spray clean them. They are like $70-80 new in parts stores... I had them replaced on our 99 3.0 engine.
