Does the Venucia D60 have a particulate filter?
3 Answers
Venucia D60 is equipped with a particulate filter. The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is a ceramic filter installed in the exhaust system of diesel engines, which captures particulate emissions before they enter the atmosphere. Its function is to filter out tiny particles in the exhaust gas. When a certain amount of particles is accumulated, it automatically burns the captured particles, thereby achieving a cyclic operation. The diesel particulate filter can effectively reduce the emission of particulate matter. It first captures the particulate matter in the exhaust gas and then oxidizes the captured particles to regenerate the particulate filter. The so-called filter regeneration refers to the fact that during the long-term operation of the DPF, the accumulation of particles in the filter will gradually increase the engine back pressure, leading to a decline in engine performance. Therefore, it is necessary to periodically remove the deposited particles to restore the DPF's filtration performance. A clogged particulate filter can reduce vehicle power. Some vehicle models will automatically reduce the power output of the diesel engine if they detect a clogged particulate filter. At the same time, the increased exhaust resistance will also weaken the vehicle's power performance.
As someone who frequently deals with various car models, I'd say whether the Venucia D60 is equipped with a particulate filter depends on the specific year and emission standards. The particulate filter is mainly used to capture tiny particles in the exhaust. Many brands have started installing this device in gasoline vehicles after the China VI standard to meet environmental requirements. As a model based on Nissan technology, if your Venucia D60 is a China VI version or a later updated model, it's highly likely to have a GPF installed. However, if it's an earlier China V or previous model, it may not have one. I recommend checking your vehicle manual or directly confirming with a 4S dealership, as the particulate filter is related to maintenance—if it gets clogged, regeneration treatment is needed to avoid issues like increased fuel consumption. Car owners pay attention to this detail as it can extend engine life.
I drive a Venucia D60 model compliant with China 6 emission standards. When purchasing the car, I specifically asked the salesperson whether it had a particulate filter, and the answer was yes. As an owner, here's my practical experience: It's installed in the exhaust pipe area - not very noticeable but highly functional, filtering harmful particulates for cleaner emissions. If your car was purchased recently, it likely comes standard with this device; older models might not. After over two years of ownership, I make sure to regularly take high-speed drives to facilitate its regeneration and prevent clogging. Check your car's manufacturing year - post-China 6 versions generally include it. If uncertain, contact customer service. Never compromise on safe driving. With current stringent environmental regulations, this design feature is too important to overlook.
