This is exactly what I needed! Very well explainied and I appreciate it! P. S. I took a utility knife to the plastic covering up the screw and cut out a little notch to make it easier to reach it next time.

@@PYR-Auto Seems like it is intentional design. One more hurdle (however small it may be) to prevent people from doing their own maintenance.

Thank you, The dealership just Quoted me $69 to change this filter...I think I will do it myself!!

Great guide! Now i know how im gonna melt that piece blocking the screw to make it easier to access the next time I change a new filter. Thank You for providing this video guide, very helpful. I had the 2018 LT AWD.

Super helpful. Thank you! I bought this Traverse brand new 2021. It has no screw and the filter was in sideways. Luckily the air flow direction was correct. The filter definitely needed to be changed. 30K miles. It was pretty dirty.

Very easy to follow video. Thank you. On a side note we used a razor knife and cut out a knotch where the T 20 torox bit goes in to make it easier the next time.

Great informative video that was straight to the point. Thanks for the time and money saved!

This was so easy, you saved me 80 bucks at dealership thanks! Took 3 minutes. There was no t20 screw there when took off. Guessing don’t really need one?..

No - it probably just didn't get reinstalled last time it was changed or checked

Need more in-depth instructions as to reattaching the dampening latch. Otherwise awesome directions! My Chevy dealership had cut away the plastic blocking the screw AND also must have decided the screw wasn’t needed. 😊

❤❤ I agree with other comments ... well done and accurate. Thanks for the instruction

Just got a Traverse. I just changed my filter on my 2015 4runner, which got me thinking about the Traverse and what's involved. The 4runner takes me all of 30 seconds. But could be worse. I changed the filter once on my mom's 2001 Honda Accord. Literally had to take half the dash off.

Very helpful. Seems that torx screw is quite unnecessary

My 2018 Traverse has a little notch where the screw is for easy access, I wonder Chevy didn't keep that in the newer models.

I’m thinking do you really need that little torx screw if you have the clips holding it in place?

it probably wouldn't hurt to not have the screw

5 min with a dremel fixed getting that screw out. 😁 Crazy how engineers thought that was a good idea to cover that screw. 🤔

They probably didn't have the brain cell left to make it easy to access the screw. That is something GM had overlooked and never thought of leaving a notch opening so it would be easier to access the screw.

I believe they do that crap on purpose to dissuade people from doing it themselves. That worked before the internet but they need to give it up

The first time that I changed mine, I took my handy dandy oscillating tool to that little lip of plastic and cut a notch into it.
