Does the Haval H6 2nd Generation Have a Particulate Filter?

Haval H6 2nd Generation has a particulate filter. The Haval H6 series comes standard with a particulate filter, so the 2nd generation Haval H6 is equipped with one. A particulate filter is a ceramic filter installed in the exhaust system of diesel engines, 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. 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 particulate filter through a dedicated pipeline. Inside, a densely arranged bag-type filter captures the carbon particles on a metal fiber felt filter. When the accumulated particles reach a certain level, an automatic igniter at the end burns off the captured carbon particles, converting them into harmless carbon dioxide. To check if the Haval H6 2nd Generation 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 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 on the exhaust pipe for a cylindrical section. If present, that is the particulate filter.
I've been dealing with the Haval H6 second generation for several years, and as a petrol car enthusiast, I can clearly say it usually doesn't have a particulate filter. This thing is mainly used in diesel vehicles to capture small particles in the exhaust, like the models I've inspected. The H6 second generation, equipped with a 1.5T or 2.0L petrol engine, primarily relies on a three-way catalytic converter and EGR system to handle emission issues. If you're worried about particulates, the diesel version would need that device; the petrol version under National IV and V emission standards doesn't require a DPF. For daily maintenance, I suggest owners regularly check the exhaust system to avoid carbon buildup or blockages affecting performance. If the engine is modified or in high-emission areas, it's best to check the vehicle manual for confirmation—but under standard configuration, drive with peace of mind, the petrol version isn't that complicated.
I drive a Haval H6 Gen 2 for my daily commute, and honestly, I've never encountered this particulate filter thing. Gasoline cars generally don't have it installed; it mainly works on diesel engines to capture particles in emissions. The H6 Gen 2 is gasoline-powered, and common versions use a three-way catalytic converter to control emissions. When I bought the car, I consulted technicians, and they emphasized that gasoline car emission systems are simpler and don't require additional DPF maintenance. You can confirm this by checking the vehicle's nameplate or online materials—for example, gasoline cars under China's National 5 standard rarely come equipped with it. During use, just focus on regular maintenance of the exhaust system—it's cost-effective and worry-free. Don't be intimidated by complex terminology; in practice, driving it is hassle-free.
