Does the Camry Have a Particulate Filter?
1 Answers
Toyota Camry does not have a particulate filter. Except for a very few models, almost all China VI-compliant vehicles are equipped with particulate filters. However, the Camry meets the China VI emission standards without being fitted with a particulate filter. Introduction to Particulate Filters: A particulate filter is a ceramic filter installed in the exhaust system of diesel engines, which captures particulate emissions before they enter the atmosphere. Methods to Check for a Particulate Filter: Refer to the Owner's Maintenance Manual and the Owner's User Manual to see if there is a particulate filter function. Additionally, carefully check the fault codes in the manual to see if there is a "Particulate Filter" warning light indicator. Examine the label on the oil cap; if it clearly states 0W-20 grade oil, it indicates the presence of a particulate filter. Also, check behind the three-way catalytic converter on the exhaust pipe for a cylindrical section—if present, that is the particulate filter.
