2 Answers
Haval H6's air filter replacement process is as follows: 1. Open the glove compartment, locate the buckle lever and pull it out. Use both hands to squeeze the sides of the glove compartment inward to remove it. 2. After removing the glove compartment, you can see the air filter. Simply pull out the old air filter and install the new one. 3. Reinstall the glove compartment and finally secure the buckle lever. Generally, the air filter should be cleaned and maintained after driving 7,500-8,000 kilometers. However, environmental conditions vary by region. It's worth noting that in areas with heavy dust, the maintenance interval should be significantly shortened to extend the air filter's lifespan.
As someone who frequently maintains my own car, I find changing the air filter for a Haval H6 extremely simple. First, open the hood, making sure the engine is completely cooled to avoid burns. The air filter box is usually located at the front right of the engine bay—it's a plastic box with a cover secured by clips or screws. Gently release these clips using your hands or a screwdriver, then lift the cover to open it, being careful not to use too much force to avoid damage. When removing the old filter, you'll often find it clogged with dust and debris, indicating it needs replacement. Excessive dirt can restrict engine airflow, leading to increased fuel consumption or reduced performance. Before inserting the new filter, check for the arrow symbol on its edge, which indicates the airflow direction—align it with the mark on the box to prevent incorrect installation. After placing the new filter, press the cover firmly to ensure a tight seal, then secure the clips. The whole process takes no more than five minutes and is recommended every 10,000 km or once a year—it saves money, protects the engine, and avoids the hassle of visiting a repair shop. Doing it yourself is quite rewarding and helps you learn more about car maintenance.
