Engine Air Cleaner/Filter; What To Do With Used Oil - GMC 2008 Yukon Denali Owner's Manual

What to Do with Used Oil

Used engine oil contains certain elements that can be
unhealthy for your skin and could even cause cancer.
Do not let used oil stay on your skin for very long. Clean
your skin and nails with soap and water, or a good
hand cleaner. Wash or properly dispose of clothing or
rags containing used engine oil. See the manufacturer's
warnings about the use and disposal of oil products.
Used oil can be a threat to the environment. If you
change your own oil, be sure to drain all the oil from the
filter before disposal. Never dispose of oil by putting it
in the trash, pouring it on the ground, into sewers, or into
streams or bodies of water. Instead, recycle it by
taking it to a place that collects used oil. If you have a
problem properly disposing of used oil, ask your
dealer/retailer, a service station, or a local recycling
center for help.

Engine Air Cleaner/Filter

When to Inspect the Engine Air
Cleaner/Filter
If your vehicle has an air filter restriction indicator, it lets
you know when the engine air cleaner/filter needs to
be replaced. On vehicles with a restriction indicator, you
should inspect the air filter restriction indicator at every
oil change and replace the engine air cleaner/filter when
the indicator tells you to.
On vehicles without an air filter restriction indicator,
inspect the air cleaner/filter at the Maintenance II
intervals and replace it at the first oil change after each
50,000 mile (80 000 km) interval. See Scheduled
Maintenance on page 6-4 for more information. If you
are driving in dusty/dirty conditions, inspect the filter
at each engine oil change.
See Engine Compartment
Overview on page 5-12 for
the location of the engine
air cleaner/filter and the air
filter restriction indicator,
if the vehicle has one.
