Does the Boyue have a particulate filter?

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, capable of capturing 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. Working principle of the particulate filter: 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 amount of adsorbed particles reaches a certain level, the burner at the end automatically ignites, burning off the adsorbed carbon particles and converting them into harmless carbon dioxide. To determine if the Geely Boyue has a particulate filter, you can use the following three methods: Check the and to see if there is a particulate filter function. Additionally, 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 it clearly states the use of 0W-20 grade oil, it indicates the presence of a particulate filter. Look behind the three-way catalytic converter on the exhaust pipe for an additional cylindrical section. If present, that is the particulate filter.
Yes, the Geely Boyue is equipped with a particulate filter in some of its newer models, primarily to comply with the latest China VI emission standards and reduce the emission of fine particles in the exhaust. As a modern SUV, the gasoline version of the Boyue typically includes this device, especially in models released after 2020. I have looked into the related technology; the particulate filter acts like a small filter, capturing harmful particles in the emissions to make the vehicle more environmentally friendly. If the version differs, such as the entry-level or older models, it might not be installed, but it is commonly included in the standard configuration. After purchasing, it's important to regularly take long drives to allow the system to self-clean, otherwise, clogging issues may arise. After all, with increasingly stringent environmental requirements, the Boyue's design keeps up with the trends.
