Can I amend a tax return I filed in Oct 2016?

 In 2016 I had an extension and actually filed in October. Does that mean the deadline to amend is Oct 2019?

Thanks

In my situation the "original return" was the return filed in October 2016, correct? In other words: my deadline to amend is Oct 2019? Thanks
