The fuel filter of the Malibu XL is recommended to be replaced every 20,000 kilometers. Precautions for replacing the fuel filter: 1. Generally, it is recommended to replace the fuel filter every 15,000 kilometers. 2. Smoking and using open flames are strictly prohibited when replacing the fuel filter or maintaining the fuel system. 3. If lighting is required during maintenance operations, ensure that the lighting used complies with occupational safety standards. 4. The fuel filter must be replaced when the engine is cold, as high-temperature exhaust gases from the exhaust pipe when the engine is hot can ignite the fuel. 5. Before replacing the fuel filter, the pressure in the fuel system should be released according to the operating procedures specified by the car manufacturer. 6. Poor-quality fuel filters often lead to poor fuel supply, insufficient engine power, or even stalling. If impurities are not filtered, the fuel lines and fuel injection system can also be corroded and damaged.
