2006 Cadillac SRX V6 Oil Filter	Sign In

Hi,

A question about this car's oil filter is live on the phone right now and he can't get logged in so I will post the question myself.

He bought a filter that is like a replacement cartridge to go in a housing and doesn't know where it is or the procedure for this.

Does anyone know about this? I haven't seen that type used in a car since the 50s!

TIA

Yea GM started using cartridges again a couple of years ago on certain engines. Why I’m not sure other then it’s likely cheaper for them to install a paper element then a spin-on filter???
I haven’t had one of these engines in yet so I can say where they hid the thing.

Thanks Dan.

I'll be in touch with my friend and hopefully he will be able to post himself. That's just what he described and I was a "doubting Thomas" that it was misboxed. We can find it over the phone and I bet it's in a location subject to road debris or something so that it's stronger and won't get punctured. I've seen that happen to some cars - ouch!

It may also be remotely somewhere like the S series GM trucks did or are still doing. I never see any vehicle that's too young as everyone buys the extended warranty to about six years and includes routine service for many. Then they just trade for another new car.

Funny - he's in Las Vegas which is about 2,500 miles from me and he doesn't just stop in for help anymore??

Thanks again. We'll post back the location to save some folks a hunt for it,

T
