Since 2011, the fuel filter in the Chevy Impala is located inside the gas tank alongside the fuel pump, and it's not meant to be replaced. While it's designed to last the entire lifespan of the vehicle, it can potentially get blocked or malfunction if it's not properly maintained or if it's exposed to dirt and debris. To ensure the filter stays clean and works well, make sure to change the synthetic oil as recommended, typically every 7,500-10,000 miles or once a year. The Impala requires oil with a viscosity rating of either 5W-20 or 0W-20. Additionally, use the right octane fuel (regular, unleaded 87 octane) and don't forget to schedule regular maintenance appointments, including emissions checks. On average, an oil and filter service for the Impala costs around $100-$115 for both materials and labor.
The fuel filter in the 2011 Chevy Impala is situated within the fuel tank and is not intended for user service.
