Does the 2021 Volvo XC60 have a particulate filter?
1 Answers
Volvo XC60 is equipped with a particulate filter. All Volvo models come standard with particulate filters, so the XC60 has one. A particulate filter is a ceramic filter installed in the diesel engine's emission system, which captures particulate emissions before they enter the atmosphere. It can reduce the soot produced by diesel engines by more than 90%, and the captured particulate emissions are subsequently burned off during vehicle operation. How the particulate filter works: The diesel particulate filter is coated with metals such as platinum, rhodium, and palladium. The black smoke containing carbon particles emitted by the diesel engine enters the exhaust particulate trap through a dedicated pipe. After passing through the densely arranged bag filters inside, the carbon particles are adsorbed onto the filter made of metal fiber felt. When the adsorption of particles reaches a certain level, the burner at the end automatically ignites and burns, turning the adsorbed carbon particles into harmless carbon dioxide that is then expelled. To check whether the Volvo XC60 has a particulate filter, you can use the following three methods: Check the and to see if there is a particulate filter function. Additionally, you can carefully review the fault codes in the manual to see if there is a "particulate filter" warning light indicator. Check the label on the oil filler cap. If the oil cap clearly indicates 0W-20 grade oil, it means the vehicle is equipped with a particulate filter. Look behind the three-way catalytic converter to see if there is a cylindrical section on the exhaust pipe. If there is, that is the particulate filter.
