Does the X-Trail have a particulate filter?
1 Answers
The 2021 X-Trail models are equipped with particulate filters. There are 19 variants of the 2021 X-Trail, all of which include particulate filters to meet the China 6 emission standards. A particulate filter is a ceramic filter installed in the diesel engine's exhaust system, designed to capture particulate emissions before they enter the atmosphere. It can reduce soot emissions from diesel engines by over 90%, with the captured particles subsequently burned off during vehicle operation. How the particulate filter works: 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 pipe. Inside, a densely arranged bag-type filter captures the carbon particles on a metal fiber mat filter. When the accumulated particles reach a certain level, a burner at the end automatically ignites, burning off the captured carbon particles and converting them into harmless carbon dioxide. To check if your X-Trail has a particulate filter, you can use the following three methods: 1. Refer to the and to see if the particulate filter function is mentioned. Additionally, check the fault codes in the manual for any "particulate filter" warning light indicators. 2. Look at the label on the oil filler cap. If it specifies 0W-20 grade oil, this indicates the presence of a particulate filter. 3. Inspect the exhaust pipe behind the catalytic converter for an additional cylindrical section. If present, this is the particulate filter.
