Does the Boyue have a particulate filter?
2 Answers
Geely Boyue Asian Games Edition is equipped with a particulate filter, while the base model does not have one. A particulate filter is a ceramic filter installed in the exhaust system of diesel engines, designed to capture particulate emissions before they enter the atmosphere. It can reduce soot emissions from diesel engines by more than 90%, and the captured particulate matter is 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. Inside, a densely arranged bag-type filter captures the carbon particles on a metal fiber felt filter. When the accumulation of particles reaches a certain level, a burner at the end automatically ignites, burning off the captured carbon particles and converting them into harmless carbon dioxide. To determine if a Geely Boyue has a particulate filter, you can use the following three methods: Check the and to see if they mention the particulate filter function. Additionally, carefully review the fault codes in the manual to see if there is a "particulate filter" warning light indicator. Look at the label on the oil filler cap. If it clearly states 0W-20 grade oil, it indicates the presence of a particulate filter. Inspect the exhaust pipe behind the three-way catalytic converter to see if there is an additional cylindrical section. If present, that is the particulate filter.
I'm a seasoned driver of the Geely Boyue and have been driving it for several years. Many people often ask me if it has a particulate filter. Most models of this car are equipped with a particulate filter, especially the newer models that meet the China VI emission standards. It's installed near the exhaust pipe and mainly filters fine particles from the exhaust to prevent air pollution. From my experience, the design is quite reliable. There are usually no major issues during daily driving, just occasionally take it on a long-distance highway drive to let the system regenerate automatically. Don’t worry about clogs or malfunctions—modern cars are very smart, and if the warning light comes on, just address it promptly. Overall, with the filter, the exhaust is cleaner, and maintenance is straightforward. It’s definitely trustworthy.
