The cabin air filter in Changan Oushang is located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. The replacement method is as follows: 1. Remove the three screws at the bottom of the glove compartment; 2. Open the glove compartment and remove the five internal screws on the upper part; 3. Pull out the entire glove compartment and locate the cabin air filter cover at the bottom of the center console; 4. Lift the cover to reveal the white cabin air filter, then remove the old filter and insert the new one; 5. Replace the cover and reassemble the glove compartment. Taking the Changan Oushang X5 as an example: It is a compact SUV launched by Changan Oushang, with dimensions of 4490mm in length, 1860mm in width, and 1580mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2710mm. It is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine and a 1.5T turbocharged engine, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, CVT continuously variable transmission (simulating 8 speeds), or a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I've driven several Changan Oshan vehicles and found that the cabin air filter is usually hidden under the dashboard on the passenger side, right next to the windshield area. To locate it, you need to open the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat, empty its contents, then gently press or pull out the panel to reveal the small box-shaped filter slot. Having replaced it multiple times myself, I recommend checking it every 10,000 kilometers - don't slack off. A clogged filter accumulates dust which gets circulated inside the car, affecting breathing, especially concerning for families with elderly or children. Buying a matching new filter costs less than 50 yuan, and you'll notice much fresher air and improved AC cooling performance. Always remember to turn off the engine and cut power before starting - safety first.
