- Step by step instruction to replace your CTS (2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013) engine filter. A new air filter can improve engine performance, including a small increase in horsepower and avoid more costly repairs in the long run. It ensures fresh clean air is used for combustion.

Always check fitment for your exact car and model before purchasing.
All you need is a Torx T25 screwdriver. It's an easy DIY job.
The car shown is a 2011 Cadillac CTS (V6 3.0L) however these instructions can be used for other model years too, as the car's design was relatively unchanged for many years, such 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013.
It's a simple and cheap fix, improves engine efficiency and has long-term benefits, which is why I change mine frequently.

I was under the hood of Ma's Caddy today trying to see how to change this filter.
Its just as bad as I thought. 🙄
Thanks for the heads-up. I'll be paying someone to deal this stupidity.
No problem. It’s certainly doable but there’s a process. I’ve seen a lot worse. There was a time when these filter changes were straightforward but they are a rarity now.
Great job. Thanks for making this!
My pleasure. 😃 Thank you.
The GM design engineers need under-hood tech time.
So true. It’s frustrating. Never understood why basic maintenance can’t be as simple as possible. I’m afraid it’s not only the GM engineers but most car manufacturers.
You made it more complicated than ever. There is way easier, faster way to do this job.
Thanks for the comment. There are a number of ways to approach this filter change. In my opinion, following the steps in my video will give the least problems.
What's with the gloves? Any real car guy isn't afraid to get his hands dirty. You didn't touch anything with grease on it!
Hahaha. It’s more of habit, especially when filming. I don’t want to get my filming equipment dirty. But I do strongly believe we should all wear gloves when dealing under the hood. Oil, grease, antifreeze, brake fluid and other car fluids are all harmful.
