Default Cabin Air Filter Replacement

Hey Guys,

I have a 14 Z51 and Im looking to change out the cabin air filter. I bought the ACDelco CF139 filter - but Im just concerned because I heard the dry sump lines are in the way. Are they easy to move out of the way, or do they disconnect without oil spitting out everywhere? Im not very mechanically inclined, so I dont want to bend or break anything...

Any advice / instructions would be most helpful...

Thanks!

I just replaced my cabin filter on my Z06. It was a bit of a tight fit but not difficult....you just have to wrestle it in a bit.

No need to disconnect any oil lines. I change the cabin filter annually in my 2014 Z51 and its a snug squeeze, but plenty doable.
