Review on πŸš— ACDelco GM Original Equipment CF182 Cabin Air Filter: Enhance Your Vehicle's Air Quality with Genuine GM Parts by Bernard Larjin

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fits perfectly in my G8

G8 AC/Delco standard filter, easy to change with instructions included (just flip it over as the instructions are for an Australian RHD VE series car). Fits perfectly, went in easily, just make sure you press on the bottom of the filter to make sure it's all the way down (as it can get stuck) then press on the sides and top. I didn't bend, they fit perfectly. I'm not sure what the problem with the other commenter is. One more thing, be sure to vacuum any leaves before removing the old filter, then clean the suction area with a damp cloth as dirt can collect on the outside of the filter and in the drain area just below. Filter (but in the filter compartment). Not as easy as some cars but not as difficult as others but the air intake is easily accessible so it can be cleaned and with the filter removed you can see the fan. directly behind it UPDATE 1 - 12-2013 Again bought a second filter directly from Revain. Perfect fit again, no complaints. The design of the car makes the filter a bit odd as it relies on the filter applying pressure from the top, bottom and sides to hold it in place. There is a small guide (thin plastic wedge) that guides the bottom piece in place, but you have to push on the sides and top to get it into the slots it needs to go into. The key is to get the filter all the way down so it is properly seated. Like last time, the filter is marked with the 'Holden' logo and the instructions say 'Holden' and show how to install it in a right hand drive car. (So you need to flip it for our USA and Canada vehicles). With the filter off, I sprayed "fridge fresh" into the fan (which is visible with the filter and recirculation off) while the fan was on. Disinfect the system. The filter is plain paper (not carbon) just like the OEM filter is plain paper.

Pros
  • Lots of good vibes
Cons
  • Lots of stuff
