In the 2017 GMC Canyon, locating the oil filter is easy as it is positioned on the passenger side of the engine block towards the rear. It can be found below the intake system and adjacent to the alternator, with convenient access from the top of the engine bay. Remember to always replace the oil filter when changing the oil, which typically ranges from $10 to $20 depending on the brand and quality. When tightening the drain plug, be careful not to overtighten or strip it, aiming for a torque setting of 30 ft/lbs. When it comes to the oil itself, you have the choice between traditional and synthetic options; however, synthetic oil is more effective in engine lubrication and requires less frequent changes compared to conventional oil.
