Where is the air filter of BYD F3 located?

The air filter element of BYD F3 is located inside a long plastic cover that can be seen after removing the glove compartment on the passenger side. Below is an introduction to the air filter element: 1. According to the filtration principle, air filters can be divided into several types, including filtration type, centrifugal type, oil bath type, and composite type. 2. The commonly used air filters in engines mainly include inertia oil bath air filters, paper dry air filters, and polyurethane filter element air filters. 3. The inertia oil bath air filter undergoes three stages of filtration: inertia filtration, oil bath filtration, and filter filtration. The latter two types of air filters mainly rely on the filter element for filtration.
As a veteran BYD F3 owner with 10 years of driving experience, let me share the air filter location. It's located in the engine bay, specifically on the right side in front of the driver's seat, housed in a black plastic box about palm-sized. When I replace it myself, I first pop the hood, locate that box, then unscrew several bolts or release the clips to remove the old filter. Before inserting the new filter, remember to wipe the interior of the box with a damp cloth to remove dust and prevent debris from entering, which could affect engine air intake. For BYD F3, the air filter should be replaced every 10,000 km or annually - excessive dust accumulation restricts airflow, leading to increased fuel consumption and reduced power. This simple DIY job saves money and is convenient; just ensure the engine is cool before working on hot days for safety.
