Chevrolet Silverado: Vehicle Checks / Engine Air Filter Life System
If equipped, this feature provides the engine air filter’s remaining life and
best timing for a change. The timing to change an engine air filter depends on driving
and environmental conditions.
When to Change the Engine Air Filter
When the Driver Information Center (DIC) displays a message to replace the engine
air filter at the next oil change, follow this timing.
When the DIC displays a message to replace the engine air filter soon, replace
the engine air filter at the earliest convenience.
The system must be reset after the engine air filter is changed.
If the DIC displays a message to check the engine air filter system, see your
dealer.
How to Reset the Engine Air Filter Life System

- Place the vehicle in P (Park).
