Changan Oshan's cabin air filter is located inside the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat, and the glove compartment needs to be removed for replacement. The cabin air filter should generally be replaced every six months or 10,000 kilometers. If the replacement cycle is exceeded, the filtering performance of the cabin air filter will deteriorate, and particulate pollutants in the air will directly enter the cylinders, which can easily cause carbon deposits, leading to reduced power and increased fuel consumption. Prolonged neglect will shorten the engine's lifespan. Taking the Oshan X7 as an example, its body weight ranges from 1.9 to 2.075 tons, with a fuel tank capacity of 55 liters. The front and rear tire specifications are both 225/60R17. The dimensions of this car are 4705mm in length, 1860mm in width, and 1720mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2780mm.

I recently replaced the cabin air filter in my Changan Oshan car, and the location is quite easy to find—it's right behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. I often take my family on road trips, and the filter is positioned at the bottom of the glove compartment. You'll need to remove the inner panel or clips first, and with a gentle pull, the filter slot will be exposed. When replacing it, make sure to align the arrow direction correctly to avoid installing it backward. After putting in the new filter, the air feels much fresher, as it filters out dust effectively, preventing allergies caused by dust buildup. I recommend checking it every six months or 10,000 kilometers, especially in dusty environments—don’t delay. It’s a simple and hassle-free task; just keep a spare filter at home, and you can get it done in minutes, saving money and ensuring safety.

As someone who enjoys tinkering with cars, I've found that the cabin air filter for Changan Oushang is usually located under the glove compartment on the passenger side. Once when I was dismantling it, I discovered the filter position - you need to either pull down the entire glove box or remove the inner cover panel, and the filter is clipped in there. If you don't replace it for a long time, the air inside the car becomes as polluted as on a smoggy day, making you feel dizzy after driving for a while. Getting the right model of activated carbon filter is crucial, as it can filter out pollen and odors, preventing sneezing when using the AC. I make it a habit to check before hot weather arrives - it's an easy operation that doesn't require professional tools, maintaining both physical and mental health.

Having driven the Changan Oushan for several years, I've memorized that the cabin air filter is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. It's directly visible after removing the compartment panel, and the filter is designed for easy removal and replacement. Regular replacement is crucial as accumulated dust affects breathing comfort. I recommend changing it during spring and autumn to prevent mold growth. Be careful not to damage the clips during operation - the whole process is quick and simple enough to DIY.

What happens when a motorcycle filter is dirty?

When a motorcycle filter is dirty, the following situations may occur: Loss of power and inability to accelerate: A dirty air filter can cause the motorcycle to lose power and make it difficult to accelerate. This results in slower movement and reduced riding time. Increased fuel consumption: A dirty air filter can lead to higher fuel consumption, accelerating the rate at which the motorcycle uses fuel and potentially causing it to stall. Black smoke from the exhaust pipe: A dirty air filter may cause black smoke to emit from the motorcycle's exhaust pipe. If not repaired promptly, this black smoke can pollute the environment.

Which Fuse to Replace When the Car Won't Start?

Replace the ignition fuse when the car won't start. Solutions for a car that won't start are as follows: Check the battery status: In winter, most cases of difficulty starting a car are caused by a depleted battery or an expired battery lifespan. Use the appropriate engine oil: In winter, as temperatures drop, the viscosity of engine oil increases, making it harder to flow and thus increasing engine resistance. Replace spark plugs promptly: After several years of use, spark plugs are prone to issues such as carbon buildup, leakage, excessive gap, and erosion. These problems can make it difficult to start the car, whether cold or even when the engine is warm, often requiring multiple ignition attempts.

How Many Points Are Deducted for Driving in Slippers?

Driving in slippers results in a penalty of 2 points. Here are some driving precautions to note: Regularly check tires: Frequently inspect tire pressure, wear level, and any damage. Do not purchase retreaded tires. During high-speed driving, the contact area between the tire and the road is smaller than an adult's palm, so the pressure endured is considerable. Avoid changing lanes arbitrarily: When changing lanes, observe not just the adjacent lane but at least two lanes, as vehicles in other lanes might also move into your intended lane. Remember to wear a seatbelt: This ensures you remain inside the vehicle during an accident, protected by the car body. Driving at high speed without a seatbelt is nearly as dangerous as riding a motorcycle.

Abnormalities in the Vehicle Braking System?

Car braking system's condition determines the safety of passengers inside the vehicle. Only when it is in a healthy state can it successfully decelerate or even stop the vehicle according to the driver's intention. Therefore, any abnormalities should be repaired immediately. Here are some common abnormalities in the vehicle braking system: 1. If the warning light on the dashboard lights up, it indicates a problem in a certain part of the braking system. You should go to a 4S shop for inspection and repair immediately. Ignoring it and continuing to use the vehicle may lead to unimaginable consequences. 2. After releasing the brake when starting the car, if you notice friction sounds between the brake pads and the brake disc, this is not an abnormal phenomenon. 3. The handbrake cable will lengthen after being used for a period of time, which is also normal. The handbrake cable is composed of multiple metal wires and has a certain degree of elasticity under force. After some time, it will be slightly longer than when the car was new, but this will not affect the parking brake function. 4. Rust on the brake disc may affect its use. The brake disc is mainly made of iron. If the vehicle is not used for a long time, the brake disc will react with oxygen and moisture in the air, causing oxidation, i.e., rust. However, during driving, the rust will be removed through the operation of the braking system, and it will not affect normal use. 5. The brake disc heats up after use. This is because braking is achieved through friction between the brake disc and the brake pads, during which kinetic energy is converted into mechanical energy and heat energy, thus generating some heat.
