How often should the fuel filter in the Leiling be replaced?
2 Answers
The replacement interval for the Leiling fuel filter is 25,000 kilometers or 15 months. The fuel filter, fully known as the gasoline filter, is a type of fuel filter that removes impurities from the fuel, providing clean fuel to the engine. It is an essential automotive component for protecting the engine and fuel supply system. The Leiling is a compact sedan built on Toyota's MC platform, measuring 4,640 mm in length, 1,780 mm in width, and 1,455 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,700 mm. In terms of powertrain, the Leiling is equipped with a 1.2T turbocharged engine and a 1.8L hybrid system.
I've been driving a Levin for over a decade, and typically need to replace the fuel filter every 30,000 kilometers. This component is located near the fuel tank and filters out impurities from gasoline to prevent engine issues. Last time I delayed replacing it, the car started shaking violently with a sudden surge in fuel consumption. Inspection revealed the filter was completely clogged - immediate replacement solved the problem. Now I make it a habit to check during annual maintenance, especially for city driving with frequent traffic congestion where the fuel pump works harder - I recommend changing it every 2 years in such cases. For those who do more highway driving, replacement can be extended to 40,000 km intervals. Using higher quality gasoline can slow down aging, and the cost is minimal - online fuel filters cost around 100 yuan, and installation at a repair shop is quick. Neglecting it increases breakdown risks and compromises driving safety. Developing regular maintenance habits benefits both your vehicle's longevity and peace of mind, significantly extending its service life.
