Replying to: 101649 (Aug 29, 2008 2:10 am) Usually Fuel Filters are located in an easy place so they could be replaced as a scheduled maintenance item. On the Azera, the Fuel Filter is located under the trunk floor, as part of the Fuel Pump. It seems like a bad place to locate a fuel filter, since its not a good idea to disturb the Fuel Pump Assembly. I am trying to find out if anyone has had the experience of replacing the Fuel Filter, and to see if they had any problems, or helpful hints. I am a retired engineer and like to do my own car maintenance. I am not ready to replace the fuel filter yet, I am just trying to plan ahead. One never know when they get a tank of dirty fuel and clog up their Fuel Filter. A clogged Fuel Filter can stop the engine and require a tow to a garage. Thanks, Jerry

Replying to: jerrybiker (Aug 29, 2008 8:55 am) Jerry, I have always taken the approach that "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." I can only remember one time back in the early 60s when the grandmother-in-laws '58 Chevy would not get enough fuel to the carb. to keep running due to a partially plugged fuel filter so that if you were still applying throttle, it would cut out and quit. Sometimes these factory maintain schedules are not realistic at all. Most fuel today is extremely clean and filtered right at the pump as it is being dispensed. HTHs

Replying to: snaglepus (Aug 29, 2008 9:15 am) However, I believe that all filters are there to remove dirt, so they should be changed at some reasonable intervil, before they clog up. I agree that most gas is clean, but there is always that one tank fill that can be dirty. I never gas up when I see a tanker truck filling the gas station tanks. It can stir up the dirt and get into your car. Manufacturers put filters in machines for a reason, so they can be removed along with the dirt that they captured. I have always changed all filters in my possession, car, bike (air, oil, fuel-filters), house A/C air filters, etc.... The Azera has a lot of filters, Oil, fuel, engine air, cabin A/C air, gas tank air filter. Thanks, for your input. Jerry |

Replying to: garysteinweg (Aug 27, 2008 8:12 am) 1. Does the O-Ring go to the very top of the flange on the screw on cap? Or does it go on the last grove just above the threads? Thanks, Jerry

Replying to: jerrybiker (Oct 22, 2008 6:20 am) The "O" ring sits in a groove above the threads, but right below the flange of the cap. If it got pushed out, it may not have been lubricated enough...just dip your fingertip in some fresh oil and run it around the "O" ring before putting the cap back on. Good luck! Mike |

I tried to change the oil filter on my Azera and had a problem. When I put the cap on the oil filter with the new O-rings, the big "O" ring got pushed out when the engine started and leaked. Can anyone HELP? 1. Does the O-Ring go to the very top of the flange on the screw on cap? Or does it go on the last grove just above the threads? Thanks, Jerry

Replying to: jerrybiker (Oct 22, 2008 6:33 am) Please refer to the previous posting, I answered that question. Are you sure you screwed the cap all the way down? There should be no gap at all between the bottom of the flange and the top of the canister. To make sure it goes a little smoother, rub some fresh oil around the "O" ring before putting the cap back on. Mike
