How to Replace the Buick Air Filter?

Use a hex key to remove the six screws inside and take out the handle. Install the handle with its position facing to the right. Close the air filter cover and tighten the six screws that were just removed.

I just helped my friend replace the air filter in his Buick, and it was actually quite simple—you can do it yourself. Open the engine hood, and the air filter box is located next to the engine. Most models use clips or screws to secure it, so locate the box first. Open the lid, carefully remove the old filter, and note the direction of the arrow (the new filter's arrow must face the same direction when reinstalling). Before placing the new filter in, it's best to wipe the inside of the box with a damp cloth to avoid dust contamination. Close the box, tighten the screws, or press the clips firmly. The whole process takes just a few minutes, and you barely need any tools—just your hands or a basic screwdriver. It's recommended to replace it every 15,000 kilometers to save money, improve fuel efficiency, and extend engine life. If you find cracks in the box after opening it, don't force it—replace the box or seek professional inspection. In short, regular maintenance is key.
