Location of the Peugeot 4008 Oil Filter?
1 Answers
The oil filter is located at the top front of the engine and beneath the engine. It can be removed using a specialized tool or a wrench of the same size. Here is an introduction to the oil filter: 1. The oil filter, also known as the oil cleaner, functions to filter out debris, gum, and moisture from the engine oil, delivering clean oil to various lubrication points. Engine oil inherently contains certain amounts of gum, impurities, moisture, and additives. 2. During engine operation, the introduction of metal wear particles, airborne contaminants, and the generation of oil oxidation products gradually increase the impurities in the oil. If the oil is not filtered and directly enters the lubrication circuit, these impurities can be carried to the friction surfaces of moving parts, accelerating wear and reducing the engine's lifespan. Therefore, the oil filter is essential to reduce friction between moving engine components, minimize wear, and continuously supply oil to the friction surfaces, forming a lubricating film for proper lubrication. 3. The oil filter is one of the vehicle's consumable parts. It should be replaced every time the engine oil is changed. Failing to replace the oil filter diminishes the effectiveness of the oil change, rendering the process largely meaningless. Thus, regular replacement of the oil filter is crucial.
