It is possible to replace the oil filter without draining the oil. The replacement method is as follows: 1. Open the engine hood and unscrew the oil tank cap; 2. Loosen the oil drain screw located under the engine; 3. Remove the old oil filter and install a new one; 4. Pour in the specified amount of oil. The function of the oil filter is to remove harmful impurities from the oil, providing clean oil to moving components such as the crankshaft, connecting rod, camshaft, turbocharger, piston rings, and engine, thereby extending the lifespan of these parts. Consequences of a damaged oil filter: It can cause blockages in the engine lubrication system or lead to abnormal wear of components, resulting in severe engine damage or complete failure.
