Does the third-generation Haval H6 come with a particulate filter?

Haval H6 is equipped with a particulate filter. There are 15 models of Haval H6 currently on sale, all of which have particulate filters to meet the China VI emission standards. A particulate filter is a ceramic filter installed in the diesel engine emission system that 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 engine exhaust particulate trap through a dedicated pipeline. After passing through its densely arranged bag-type filter, the carbon smoke particles are adsorbed on the filter made of metal fiber felt. When the adsorption of particles reaches a certain level, the burner at the end automatically ignites and burns, turning the adsorbed carbon smoke particles into harmless carbon dioxide that is then expelled. To check whether the Haval H6 has a particulate filter, you can use the following three methods: Check the and to see if there is a particulate filter function. Additionally, you can carefully check the fault codes in the manual to see if there is a "particulate filter" warning light indicator. Check the label above the oil cap. If the oil cap clearly states 0W-20 grade oil, it indicates that a particulate filter is installed. Look at the exhaust pipe behind the three-way catalytic converter to see if there is a cylindrical section. If there is, that is the particulate filter.
As an automotive technology enthusiast, I've reviewed the specifications of the 3rd-gen Haval H6 and confirmed it's equipped with a particulate filter, primarily to comply with the stringent China 6B emission standards and prevent excessive pollutant emissions. The particulate filter acts like a miniature trap, capturing fine particles generated during engine combustion. When accumulation reaches a certain level, the vehicle automatically initiates regeneration—burning off these particles through high temperatures. During a test drive of my friend's car, he mentioned occasional low-speed driving could cause filter clogging, requiring a highway run to restore performance; otherwise, power loss might occur. I recommend checking the filter condition during each maintenance service and using high-quality fuel to prevent clogging and extend its lifespan. This approach ensures both environmental protection and long-term stable vehicle operation.
