How often should the fuel filter of the Arrizo 5 be replaced?
2 Answers
The fuel filter of the Arrizo 5 should be replaced approximately every 10,000 kilometers. The replacement method is as follows: 1. First, depressurize the system by removing the fuel pump fuse or relay, then start the engine until it automatically shuts off; 2. Lift the vehicle on a hoist, locate the fuel filter near the right rear wheel, remove the protective cover of the fuel filter using tools, and then disconnect the fuel lines with a wrench; 3. Replace with a new filter, reinstall the fuel lines and filter cover; 4. Lower the vehicle and start the engine to check for leaks. In terms of body dimensions, the Arrizo 5 measures 4572 mm in length, 1825 mm in width, and 1482 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2670 mm. The body design of the Arrizo 5 inherits the HDS (Hydrodynamic Sculpture) design philosophy of the Arrizo series, where the designer incorporated the water element from the traditional Chinese Five Elements theory into the vehicle's body styling.
Last time I drove the Arrizo 5, I had a fuel filter issue, and it felt much better after replacing it. Generally, it's recommended to change the gasoline filter every 20,000 to 30,000 kilometers or every two years—check the manual for specifics. From my experience, I drive a bit aggressively, and after two years without changing it, I noticed higher fuel consumption and engine shaking. The mechanic checked and said the filter was too dirty and clogged the fuel supply. If you use low-quality fuel or often drive on mountain or dirt roads, you should change it more frequently. Otherwise, a clogged fuel line can cause engine trouble. My advice is to check the filter condition during regular maintenance. Replacing this small part doesn’t cost much, so don’t wait until a major issue arises—that’ll cost you more. After regular maintenance, the car runs much smoother, making it safer and more worry-free.
