Thanks for video. Thanks GM for making an air filter change more difficult than it needs to be. Also thanks for a windshield fluid reservoir that can’t fit an entire gallon of fluid.
The dealership wanted to charge me $67.00 to do this. And another $67 for the Cabin filter. Thanks for showing how easy this is and what a rip off that would have been!
DUDE! How do you get the dat-blamed cover back on!? I got it off and replaced the filter, but am having a hard time getting over the rubber fringe to re-insert the three plastic "fingers".
It’s a tight fit. Once you have the three fingers in place you should be able to just lower the cover down onto the filter. And it creates a seal against the rubber. It’s meant to be tight.
@@rickwoods3952 If you can't get the hose off, carefully pry it free from the airbox tube with a flat blade screwdriver. Sometimes the tube gets stuck and its a kinda of a pain. Make sure you loosen the clamp as well.
@@fondupot You know what man?, that's exactly what I did! It was the first time I've changed it, so the factory seal was strong. Thanks for the suggestion!
I CAN DO THIS!!! gmc QUOTED ME 60.00 TO CHANGE IT!!! THE FILTER IS LESS THAN 20$ I HAVE A 2019 gmc CANYON I HAVE A PHILLIPS HEAD LOL thank you!!!! Just cuz I am a lady lol doesn't mean i can't take care of my truck myself!! lolol (now to learn how to change a tire ) but i do have AAA
Glad to help Maxine! I saw your other comment as well. Super glad the videos have helped. Thanks for watching. PS. Changing a tire is easy too. I’m sure you could manage it!
@@Meg8554 i have a diesel, its (pair of filters) midway to the back on drivers side (underbody) 2 bolt like plastic nuts facing down on a box, make sure to have a flush pan under
I bought a Napa Gold Air filter. Only (1) of the (4) screws screwed in all the way tight. The other 3 are spinning in place. It looks and feels solid on there. Anyone else have the issue of the screws spinning forever?
The bottom of the air box has threaded holes in plastic. If the screws are over tightened the threads can be stripped out. Sounds like that’s what happened here. I would advise only using hand tools on those screws.
Normal. It happens because you disconnected the sensor. Sometimes that happens. And when the engine light is on it causes the engine fan to run constantly.
1 more question. As you know, the 3.6 litter takes 5w30 oil...I accidently bought and changed the oil with 10w30 mobile 1 synthetic advanced protection 15 k miles, which isn't dexos certified. Done research and found oils are similar, just 10w30 is heavier. Should I drain it immediately, or is it ok for now? Your thoughts?
The owners manual says every 45,000 miles. More often if the vehicle is operated in extreme dusty environments. I tend to change mine out once a year, regardless of mileage.
@@fondupot I hope there's no difference. Your video convinced me I could tackle this -- just bought the filter for my '15 Colorado. Fingers crossed I don't muck it up.

Keep your Colorado or Canyon breathing clean! Change your engine filter!
So easy to change even a 5th grader could do it (as Jeff says). Viedo was very helpful. Thanks Again very easy to do
Cheers. Thanks!

Haha, glad to help. Thanks for watching!
5 screws!? Difficult!? What!?
@@michaelpalazzolo3038 4 clips!? Too easy!? th-cam.com/video/Zv4nfiSy1-M/w-d-xo.html
Don’t own one but the tube was incredibly stiff. Definitely not as easy as it should be
Just wait until you have to change out head light bulbs...GM engineers must laugh their asses off when they design this stuff...
Thanks...looks like even I can do it!
No BS, straight to the point.
Good job!
Oh yea it’s super easy. Thanks for watching!
Time watching video was time well spent. Breezed through the changeout
Got it helped
Thank you for the videos, is showing me how to maintain my new colorado.
Also thank you for answering to my questions on the other videos.
You’re welcome!

That’s whack! Glad to help. Thanks for watching.
The cabin filter is simple.
My dealer wanted $85 for the engine filter and $85 for the cabin filter, this video saved me over $140 bucks!
Heck yea!
Thanks!
Hey thank you Jeffrey!
Thanks for the video man! Simple, easy and to the point.
You bet. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching. Definitely an easy job!
Very nice presentation! Thanks!! 🎯
Cheers. Thanks!
Thanks for the video! Boy, that rubber accordion is a doozy to get off.
Yea, it sure is.
you actually do not need to remove that .... it accordions for a reason....

Do u have a cabin air filter vid,when should I change the air fliters
Yes. Search my channel for the cabin filter video. I change mine every 6-8 months. More often if in dusty conditions.
Thanks. Good stuff. Mine stuck more than a little bit. 😅

Thanks bro. Is anybody else having issues with the windshield washer pump?
멋지네요
Very nice video good 👍
Thank you
Going now to change it for the first time after ive done 28000 miles
Probably fine. Thanks for watching.
Do u know where the fuel filter is at?
killer kev GM has been integrating fuel filters into fuel pumps inside the fuel tank for several years. I would guess that’s where it is.
@@fondupot fckkk 😣

Changed mine and took off the air sensor connector...now there is a fan noise coming from the engine
Do you have an engine light?
@@fondupot yes...and today it went out
Normal. It happens because you disconnected the sensor. Sometimes that happens. And when the engine light is on it causes the engine fan to run constantly.

How often should I change it
The owners manual says every 45,000 miles. More often if the vehicle is operated in extreme dusty environments. I tend to change mine out once a year, regardless of mileage.
Diesel's?
It’s a similar process. Check the video description for more information.
👍👍👍👍👍
Engineers always find a more difficult way to design things so they’re harder to deal with.
They sure do!
The video helped. Thanks for the demo.
Glad to help
I know right. It's like they are trying to make changing an air filter as difficult as rebuilding an engine.
have you thought about buying a K&N air filter?
Michael A I haven’t because the OEM intake is integrated into the engine cover. So if you install a different intake you lose the engine cover.
Fondupot's Garage i think he’s talking about a k&n air filter, not a cold air intake.
Just installed my K&N yesterday at about 50k miles
I'll have to try and re-seat the air filter cover again, since I didn't loosen up the clamp of the flex tube.
Still, a dumb design.
Loosening the clamp helps. Good luck
It seemed to work better, but I had to get a flat blade screwdriver and kinda work my way around the flex tube to get it loose.
@@crlaw75 Yea, the rubber sometimes sticks down.
Voila I just saved$76.
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
The WIX filter would be better made than the stock one.
Yes, I am partial to Wix filters.
this is not for a 2015 colorado
Tell me, what’s different then?
@@fondupot I hope there's no difference. Your video convinced me I could tackle this -- just bought the filter for my '15 Colorado. Fingers crossed I don't muck it up.
You’ll be able to get it done no problem.
@@fondupot Hope so! I can open the hood & turn a screwdiver, so thought I ought to give it a shot.
That’s half the battle right there
Cheeeea
Shyeeaaaaaa bruh
Thanks for the video, it helped me out!
