How to Replace the Air Filter for BYD S7?
2 Answers
The air filter for BYD S7 is located on the right side of the engine compartment, and you only need to open the outer cover to replace it. The car's air filter, also known as the air cleaner, primarily filters the air entering the cylinders, mainly removing dust and sand particles. If the air entering the cylinders contains impurities, it can accelerate the wear of the piston group and cylinders, and in severe cases, may even cause serious cylinder scoring. Normally, the air filter should be replaced every 10,000 kilometers, unless you are in an area with severe air pollution, where it may need to be replaced earlier. The body dimensions of the BYD S7 are 4840mm in length, 1855mm in width, and 1720mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2735mm.
As a BYD S7 owner, I'd like to share my experience replacing the air filter. First, open the engine hood and locate the black rectangular plastic box on the left side of the engine - that's the air filter housing. There are two metal clips on the side of the box that can be opened by hand. Key point: When opening the lid, be mindful of the angle and avoid pulling too hard to prevent breaking the clips. After removing the old filter, remember to wipe out dust inside the housing with a damp cloth, as residual dust can shorten the new filter's lifespan. Before installing the new filter, confirm its orientation - usually the rubber sealing edge faces upward, as installing it backward may cause air leaks. Finally, press the clips firmly until you hear a click to ensure proper installation. I recommend checking the filter monthly, especially for drivers in sandy/dusty areas. A clogged filter directly affects engine performance and fuel consumption. The whole replacement takes less than 10 minutes and is absolutely worth it.
