How often should the Leiling fuel filter be replaced?
2 Answers
The Leiling fuel filter should be replaced every 25,000 kilometers or 15 months, whichever comes first. The fuel filter, also 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 a crucial automotive component that protects the engine and fuel supply system. The Leiling has body dimensions of 4630mm in length, 1775mm in width, and 1480mm in height. It is a compact sedan based on Toyota's MC platform, specially and deeply customized for Chinese consumers. The Leiling is equipped with a new 1.2T engine, delivering a maximum power of 85kw and a maximum torque of 185nm.
I've been driving a Toyota Levin for six years, and the fuel filter is quite crucial for the engine as it filters out impurities in the gasoline to prevent clogging the fuel injectors. My practice is to replace it approximately every 30,000 kilometers, mainly because I mostly drive in the city with frequent traffic jams and high dust levels, which can easily dirty it. If you drive less on highways, the filter's load is lighter, and you might stretch it to 40,000 kilometers, but don't take the risk. Replacing the filter isn't expensive and can be done during regular maintenance. If you don't replace it, the engine may start shaking, fuel consumption will increase, and driving could become dangerous. Developing the habit of checking the filter's condition during each maintenance session can save you a lot of trouble and prevent bigger failures.
