Does the China VI Outlander have a particulate filter?
1 Answers
The China VI Outlander is equipped with a particulate filter. There are currently 8 available models of the China VI Outlander, all of which include a particulate filter to meet the China VI emission standards. A particulate filter is a ceramic filter installed in the diesel engine's exhaust system, designed to capture particulate emissions before they are released into the atmosphere. It can reduce soot emissions from diesel engines by over 90%, and the captured particulate matter is subsequently burned off during vehicle operation. Working principle of the particulate filter: The diesel particulate filter is coated with precious metals such as platinum, rhodium, and palladium. The black smoke containing carbon particles emitted by the diesel engine enters the particulate filter through a dedicated pipe. The densely arranged bag-type filter inside captures the carbon particles on a metal fiber felt filter. When the accumulated particles reach a certain level, the burner at the end automatically ignites, burning off the captured carbon particles and converting them into harmless carbon dioxide. To check whether the China VI Outlander has a particulate filter, you can use the following three methods: 1. Refer to the Owner's Maintenance Manual and Owner's User Manual to see if the particulate filter function is mentioned. Additionally, carefully check the fault codes in the manual to see if there is a "particulate filter" warning light indicator. 2. Check the label on the oil filler cap. If it clearly states 0W-20 grade oil, it indicates the presence of a particulate filter. 3. Inspect the exhaust pipe behind the catalytic converter to see if there is an additional cylindrical section. If present, it is the particulate filter.
