[HOW TO] Change the Engine Air Filter on a 2015-2022 Colorado / Canyon (Gas & Diesel) (EASY)

[@fondupot]

Keep your Colorado or Canyon breathing clean! Change your engine filter!

[@wickedkool705]

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.

[@fondupot]

Haha, glad to help. Thanks for watching!

[@michaelpalazzolo3038]

5 screws!? Difficult!? What!?

[@wickedkool705]

@@michaelpalazzolo3038 4 clips!? Too easy!? kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKeXn5mfiN5kY68

Don’t own one but the tube was incredibly stiff. Definitely not as easy as it should be

[@scottholder4489]

Just wait until you have to change out head light bulbs...GM engineers must laugh their asses off when they design this stuff...

[@NormanFox-q3h]

So easy to change even a 5th grader could do it (as Jeff says). Viedo was very helpful. Thanks Again very easy to do

[@fondupot]

Cheers. Thanks!

[@scottholder4489]

Thanks...looks like even I can do it! No BS, straight to the point. Good job!

[@fondupot]

Oh yea it’s super easy. Thanks for watching!

Got it helped

[@azazelakira12]

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.

[@fondupot]

You’re welcome!

[@rdhunkins]

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!

[@fondupot]

That’s whack! Glad to help. Thanks for watching.

[@gadasavideos8564]

The cabin filter is simple.

[@LL-pe4ou]

My dealer wanted $85 for the engine filter and $85 for the cabin filter, this video saved me over $140 bucks!

[@nickpilonmurray]

Thanks for the video! Boy, that rubber accordion is a doozy to get off.

[@fondupot]

Yea, it sure is.

[@RideFaster]

you actually do not need to remove that .... it accordions for a reason....

[@rickwoods3952]

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".

[@fondupot]

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]

@@fondupot I appreciate the fast reply, man. I couldn't get the hose off, so don't have the play I need to back up the cover. Any suggestions?

[@fondupot]

@@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.

[@rickwoods3952]

@@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!

[@fondupot]

Glad you got it! Cheers!

Do u have a cabin air filter vid,when should I change the air fliters

[@fondupot]

Yes. Search my channel for the cabin filter video. I change mine every 6-8 months. More often if in dusty conditions.

Thanks bro. Is anybody else having issues with the windshield washer pump?

[@SWalker71]

Thanks. Good stuff. Mine stuck more than a little bit. 😅

[@JobreeezySwaquino]

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?

[@fondupot]

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.

[@Eric-si3iu]

Awesome!!! Thanks for the vid.

[@fondupot]

pinoyflash 72 You’re welcome! Thanks for watching.

[@cpaul57]

Changed mine and took off the air sensor connector...now there is a fan noise coming from the engine

[@fondupot]

Do you have an engine light?

[@cpaul57]

@@fondupot yes...and today it went out

[@fondupot]

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.

[@cpaul57]

@@fondupot thanks

[@cpaul57]

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?

Thank you 🙏🎉

You're welcome. Glad to help! Thanks for watching.

[@Meg8554]

Do u know where the fuel filter is at?

[@fondupot]

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.

멋지네요 Very nice video good 👍

[@fondupot]

Thank you

[@Rizzgrimes]

How often should I change it

[@fondupot]

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.

[@whodunit68]

Diesel's?

[@fondupot]

It’s a similar process. Check the video description for more information.

[@crlaw75]

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.

[@fondupot]

Loosening the clamp helps. Good luck

[@crlaw75]

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.

[@fondupot]

@@crlaw75 Yea, the rubber sometimes sticks down.

[@michaela3638]

have you thought about buying a K&N air filter?

[@fondupot]

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.

[@KIDLAT619]

Fondupot's Garage i think he’s talking about a k&n air filter, not a cold air intake.

[@juanserna5324]

Just installed my K&N yesterday at about 50k miles

[@bfpierce]

Engineers always find a more difficult way to design things so they’re harder to deal with.

[@fondupot]

They sure do!

The video helped. Thanks for the demo.

I know right. It's like they are trying to make changing an air filter as difficult as rebuilding an engine.
