Hi. the air filter is in a cylindrical looking device that is connected to the intake throttle body, via plastic flex hose. it runs horizontal. you will have to un clip the plastic housing and extract the filter. i will post a picture below.

SOURCE: hte wrench light is on

its due a service, dont let it go to long as you will be shortening the life of your engine, if you cant afford a full service, have the oil changed only, leaving oil in the engine cause the most damage to any car as it looses its ability to lubicate causing friction and damage. hope this helps ( rate me thanks )

SOURCE: 2006 Buick Rainier stalled. The oil gauge reads

Fairly common problem on the 03-06 Rainier instrument clusters, it's caused by failing stepper motor on the cluster's circuit board and it can be fixed. Check out this page for more on it - Rainier oil gauge broken

Why are all gauges on dash not working.only fuel guage

Usually when these Gauges go out it is because of a faulty BCM( Body Control Module) The BCM controls all dash instruments . If it is the BCM you will have to get a dealership to flash the new one. Before doing that though check all fuses under hood and inside. It should say gauges or BCM

Erratic oil pressure gauge

Have you changed the oil filter? Change the oil and filter.(USE the AC Delco filter and the 10W - 30 oil..(Wal-Mart oil is fine - it's made by a major refinery - HINT- Walmart does not own a refinery!!!) They buy the oil, have it put in their marked containers and sell it cheaper then others) I ONLY use Wal-Mart oil in everything!!..you might try a pint of Lucas oil treatment..
See if the new filter helps.. sometimes they are defective and block oil flow and the pressure makes it flow..
