2005 5.3l Denali Engine Oil Filter

I've searched and found a couple of hits, but still haven't found a straight forward answer. Is the oil filter that big of a PITA to get out? My wife has the truck at work now so I can't look, but it's in need of an oil change ASAP. I saw the post in the resource section for the I6 engine, but nothing for the 5.3. Is there a cover on the bottom that you need to take off like the I6 engine? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

My '04 Rainier equipped with the 5.3 V8 does have a small access cover over the oil filter. It's about 6" x 6" and two or three small bolts hold it in place. Not a big deal to remove and replace the cover; takes about two minutes.

Is the oil filter a pain to get out without making a mess. That as my main concern......


Thanks for the reply though!!

Nope. After you remove the access cover, the oil filter on the 5.3-liter V8 is among the easiest I've seen to remove and replace. Piece of cake.

Oil filter is PF64? Is that correct?

Nope. Correct filter for my '04 Rainier with 5.3-liter V8 is AC-Delco PF46.
