I have a question, great video btw, my wife has a 2025 equinox and was wondering if the smell of exhaust fumes (after the problem has been fixed) can the air cabin filter trap some of the residue in that cotton filter ? Suv has only been driven for about 5k miles. Purchased brand new two months ago. She accidentally hit a curb and ever since it has had some fume smells but it has been fixed by the dealership but there is still a faint hint of fumes coming through the vents often.
@Corysdiyauto thank you so very much for your swift response. I think I'll definitely switch it out with a K&N filter if they have one. Keep up the good work
That access point is truly ridiculous. A good % of people don’t have a 7/32” socket set up. Who designs this crap? What about people that aren’t mechanically inclined? Thankfully I am, but this just has no logic. Nice vid.
Very friendly and informational. Great video…!!!
Thank you for the comment!

That's a possibility. I would replace the filter and see what happens. Hopefully it solves the problem for you.

@MrTatouA - Thank you!
Leave it to GM to make it a pain in the behind to complete DIY maintenance. Stupid screw access to the door.
It's definitely unnecessary.
