Chery Tiggo 5 oil filter model is 481H-10120101BX. Oil filter replacement cycle: The replacement interval for the oil filter depends on the type of oil used in the engine. For mineral oil, replace it every 3,000-4,000 kilometers or every six months. For semi-synthetic oil, replace it every 5,000-6,000 kilometers or every six months. For full synthetic oil, replace it every 8 months or every 8,000-10,000 kilometers. Function of the oil filter: The oil filter cleans the engine oil. As the oil circulates in the engine, it inevitably picks up impurities and particles. The oil filter removes these impurities and particles from the oil. Without an oil filter, the particles in the oil would continuously circulate in the engine, accelerating engine wear.
I've been driving my Chery Tiggo 5 for over three years, and the oil filter model is usually PH2854 or Bosch's compatible version. I've used it several times, and it's quite reliable. Every time I change the oil, I replace the filter as well, typically every 5,000 kilometers to prevent dust buildup and engine wear. Last time, I delayed it until 8,000 kilometers before changing, and the car's fuel consumption skyrocketed. The mechanic said the filter was clogging the oil passage. I recommend owners buy from authorized stores first—don’t go for cheap off-brand products. The Tiggo 5’s engine is a 1.5T, so matching the correct model is crucial. DIY is also an option when replacing it, but be careful not to spill oil on the ground, as it can corrode the car body. Maintenance isn’t something to take lightly—developing good habits can save you a lot of money.
As someone who frequently helps others with car repairs, I can tell you that the PH2854 model is the main recommended oil filter for the Chery Tiggo 5, and many models use this one. However, the actual choice depends on your engine's year. For example, older models might use the OC608 as a replacement. Make sure to tighten it properly during installation, or oil leaks could dirty the engine bay. I recommend brands like Mann or Bosch—they're durable and cost around 40 yuan. Avoid buying counterfeits from roadside stalls. The replacement frequency depends on your driving environment: change it every 5,000 km for city driving with more dust, or less frequently for highway driving. The process is simple; even beginners can do it with a wrench, but it's best to have a car-savvy friend guide you to avoid damaging parts.
