Can I change fuel filter on my cobalt--easily?

[Allie7]

Dealer wants $96 to replace fuel filter. It's in front of the fuel tank so that doesn't need to be dropped. Auto zone has a Duralast one for $22. Should I do it myself or is it too technical or is the dealer filter better?

IIRC there are ones with and without pressure valves, I honestly don't recall which you need but I think it was the more expensive one that I did on mine. If you can order an OEM filter and do it yourself I'd suggest that route, it's pretty easy if you've got the tools and space.

Cool, thanks! I searched high and low to find the OEM brand for my car. Is it ACDelco and do you know where I can purchase it cheap? Sorry for all the questions...I'm such a rookie. you are awesome Yelloeye!!

ACDelco is GM's in house brand. So that might be it.
