Volkswagen Lavida 1.5L does not have a particulate filter. A particulate filter is a ceramic filter installed in the diesel engine emission system, which can capture particulate emissions before they enter the atmosphere. Methods to check for a particulate filter: Refer to the and 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. Look behind the catalytic converter on the exhaust pipe for a cylindrical section—if present, that is the particulate filter. 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 filter through a dedicated pipeline. The densely arranged bag-type filter inside captures the carbon particles on a metal fiber felt filter. When the accumulation of 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 that is then released.

What type of oil does the Mazda3 Axela use?

For the Mazda3 Axela, it is recommended to use higher viscosity lubricants in summer, such as 15W-50, 15W-40, 20W-50, etc. In winter, lower viscosity lubricants should be chosen, such as 5W-40, 5W-30, or 10W-30, 10W-40, etc. Engine oil is referred to as the lifeblood of the engine, playing roles in lubrication, cleaning, sealing, heat dissipation, buffering, and rust prevention within the engine. Without engine oil, the engine simply cannot function properly. Before changing the oil, the vehicle's engine should be turned off for 30 minutes to allow the oil adhering to the cylinder walls to flow back into the oil pan, otherwise, residual oil may remain. The oil level needs to be checked, which can be observed using the oil dipstick. The first time the dipstick is pulled out, it should be wiped clean with a paper towel and reinserted before being pulled out again for inspection. The dipstick has two marks indicating the upper and lower limits; the oil level should be between these two marks for normal operation.

How many kilometers should the throttle be replaced?

The throttle does not have a fixed replacement mileage or service life, and it needs to be replaced only when it is damaged. The throttle is located at the engine intake port, and its function is to control the air entering the engine. After the gas enters the intake pipe, it mixes with gasoline to form a combustible mixture, which then burns to perform work. Precautions for using the throttle are: 1. Clean the throttle frequently. Excessive sludge on the throttle can cause insufficient engine power and increase fuel consumption; 2. Apply oil to the fixed metal retaining ring before disassembly to prevent thread stripping; 3. After cleaning, maintaining the throttle opening as before cleaning may cause excessive air intake, leading to engine shaking during startup and weak acceleration.
