Engine Air Cleaner/Filter; When To Inspect - GMC YUKON XL 2004 Owner's Manual

Engine Air Cleaner/Filter

When to Inspect

If your vehicle is equipped with a filter change indicator
it lets you know when the filter needs to be replaced.
Vehicles with a restriction indicator, inspect the air
cleaner/filter at every oil change and replace the filter
when the indicator tells you to. Vehicles without a
change indicator, inspect the air cleaner/filter at every
oil change and replace it at the first oil change after
25,000 miles (40 000 km).
See Engine Compartment
Overview on page 5-12 for
location of engine air
cleaner/filter and change
indicator (if equipped).
How to Inspect

indicator turns black or is in the red/orange "change"
zone, replace the filter and reset the indicator. To
inspect the air cleaner/filter, remove the filter from the

dirt. If the filter remains "caked" with dirt, a new filter
is required.
