Diesel Filter Replacement Interval: 1. To ensure the effective protective function of the diesel filter, it is generally recommended to replace it every 5,000 kilometers of driving. 2. The actual condition should also be considered. If the filter element inside the diesel filter shows obvious darkening, it indicates severe contamination by harmful substances, and a new filter should be promptly installed to maintain fuel cleanliness. 3. According to conventional standards, the filter should be replaced every 5,000 kilometers. During hot weather, not replacing it may have minimal impact, but in cold weather, the requirements for air filters and diesel filters are higher. The filter must be replaced no later than 5,000 kilometers to avoid affecting the vehicle's lifespan. Additionally, usage conditions should be taken into account. With good road and environmental conditions, the interval can extend up to 20,000 kilometers or one to two years. In poor road and environmental conditions, the interval may be as short as 3,000–5,000 kilometers or just a few months.

What Causes the Emission System Malfunction?

The reasons for the emission fault light to illuminate are as follows: 1. Poor fuel combustion state, where fuel is not burned or incompletely burned, engine knocking, excessively high engine temperature, necessitating throttle cleaning. 2. Poor fuel quality. The engine has relatively high requirements for fuel quality. Poor fuel quality can lead to unclean engine cylinder interiors with deposited carbon buildup, requiring engine carbon deposit cleaning. 3. Cold start, when the weather temperature drops sharply, the pollution light may illuminate due to the computer's temperature correction issues during startup. The light will stabilize once the temperature drops to a certain level and stops fluctuating. 4. Carbon deposits on the piston top can cause poor atomization, weakened spark plug performance, and ignition coil faults leading to poor ignition. 5. Faults in the oxygen sensor itself or its wiring, or faults in the sensor control unit. An oxygen sensor inspection is required.

What is the reason for the coolant running out after a few days of adding it?

There may be a leak somewhere that was not properly checked during replacement. It is recommended to have it inspected at a repair shop. Relevant information about antifreeze is as follows: 1. Antifreeze is a type of coolant containing special additives, mainly used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems. Antifreeze has excellent properties such as preventing freezing in winter, boiling in summer, and preventing scale and corrosion throughout the year. 2. Try to use the same brand of antifreeze. Different brands of antifreeze use different metal corrosion inhibitors, so antifreeze from different brands should not be mixed. 3. The shelf life of antifreeze is mostly two years (some products may be longer). When adding, make sure the product is within its shelf life. When replacing, drain the old fluid, clean the cooling system thoroughly, and then add the new fluid.
