Where is the engine air filter located on a 2026 Chevrolet Express?

Open the airbox and lift out the panel-style element without stressing the mass airflow (MAF) wiring that sits just upstream. The Express uses a 4.3L V6 (engine code 6VNAG4.3) with rear-wheel drive, so access is straightforward using basic hand tools. If you prefer professional service, our Murray team can inspect, replace, and reseal the housing to factory specification.
