How often should the air filter in a Leiling be replaced?
2 Answers
The air filter in a Leiling should be replaced every 15,000 kilometers or 9 months. The air filter is a device designed to remove particulate impurities from the air. Taking the 2021 Leiling as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4640mm, width 1780mm, height 1455mm, with a wheelbase of 2700mm and a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. The 2021 Leiling is equipped with a 1.2T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 116PS and a maximum power of 85kW, paired with a CVT continuously variable transmission. It features a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and an E-type multi-link independent rear suspension.
I think the replacement cycle for the Leiling's air filter depends on your driving habits. I mostly drive in the city and change the air filter every 15,000 kilometers on average because there's more dust and traffic in urban areas, which can easily clog the filter. The manufacturer's manual recommends replacing it every 20,000 kilometers or two years, but if you often drive on dusty roads or use the air conditioning frequently, you might need to replace it more often. If you don't replace it in time, fuel consumption will increase, and the engine may lose power. I suggest having the technician check the filter during each maintenance service—you can also check it yourself: open the hood, locate the air intake box, take out the filter, and shake it. If there's heavy dust, it's time for a replacement. Don't underestimate this little thing—it protects the engine and can save you money.
