The air filter in the Mercedes-Benz GLC260 is located in two places: 1. The upper left corner of the engine compartment: After opening the engine hood, remove the box cover to see the external filter; 2. Inside the glove compartment on the passenger side: Open the glove compartment to see it. Taking the 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLC260 Sport model as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4764mm, width 1898mm, height 1642mm, wheelbase 2973mm, and fuel tank capacity 66l.

I've only owned my Mercedes-Benz GLC260 for half a year when I noticed a strange smell from the air conditioning. After checking the manual, I found out the cabin air filter is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. You'll need to open the glove box first - there are either clips or small screws securing the cover panel. Just push it open with some force, don't worry about breaking it. The filter housing is right there, and replacing the old filter with a new one is quite straightforward. It took me about ten minutes to do it for the first time. The placement is quite reasonable. If you drive frequently in dusty conditions, I recommend changing it every three months to maintain fresh air in the car. My kids definitely feel more comfortable during rides now. Changing the filter is simple - it's right there in that spot. Doing it yourself saves both time and money.

Should the Geely Vision X3 use semi-synthetic or fully synthetic oil?

The Geely Vision X3 can use either semi-synthetic or fully synthetic oil. Here is more information about engine oil: 1. There are two methods of adding oil: dry filling and wet filling. Wet filling involves lifting the car to drain the oil, while dry filling uses an oil extraction pump. Dry filling requires 4 liters of oil, whereas wet filling requires 3.5 liters. 2. Fully synthetic oil offers better high and low-temperature performance and has a longer oil change interval, making it more suitable for harsher driving conditions. 3. Semi-synthetic oil contains more mineral oil, has a higher pour point, and is less suitable for low-temperature regions. It also has a shorter oil change interval compared to fully synthetic oil, but it is more affordable. Additional note: Engine oil is sensitive to moisture in the air, ambient temperature, and light. Using expired engine oil can cause significant damage to the car's engine, such as reduced lubrication and cooling effectiveness.
