The black plastic air filter housing in a Pontiac G6 is located at the front corner of the engine bay on the passenger side. To remove the cover and access the air cleaner element, unscrew the three "Torx" screws located near each other at the top of the air filter cover. Be careful when removing these screws because they are easy to lose in the engine bay. Replacement screws are GM part # 11589092 and can be obtained from GM Parts Direct. With the three Torx screws removed, lift the air filter cover up and towards the rear of the car. Then reach your hand in and gently slide out the old air filter constructed of rubber, paper and wire mesh. This air filter was relatively clean having been used for only 16,000 miles. So I tapped out any debris and replaced it. |
