I always forget about that filter until it’s too late! It’s like the stepchild of car maintenance. Haha! I need to put a reminder on my phone.

Haha, same here! It’s so easy to overlook, but it really does make a difference. Sometimes I wonder if the designers just want to test our memory!

To find the cabin air filter on a 2015 Yukon, you’ll need to look under the dashboard on the passenger side. It’s usually located behind the glove compartment. You may need to remove a few screws to access it.

That’s helpful! Do you have any tips on what tools are needed for this process?

You’ll just need a basic screwdriver to remove the screws. A small flashlight might help too, since it can get dark under there. Safety first, make sure your car is off before you start!

Thanks for the tip! Any recommendations on a good replacement filter?

I usually go with the AC Delco filters; they fit well and work great for my Yukon. Make sure to check the size before buying!

That’s a good point! I’d like to add, when removing the old filter, check for any leaves or debris that may have collected. It can affect air quality!

So, does anyone have a diagram or image that shows the location? It would really help visual learners like me!

I found a great diagram online that shows the steps clearly. I’ll try to upload it here, but it’s pretty straightforward once you see it!

It’s generally a good idea to check it annually; some might say it’s overkill, but it really depends on your driving conditions. Cleaner air is worth it!
