Where is the cabin air filter located in Changan Oushang?
2 Answers
The cabin air filter in Changan Oushang is located inside the glove compartment in front of the front passenger seat. To replace it, the glove compartment needs to be removed. Taking the Changan Oushang X7 as an example, it is positioned as a compact SUV with body dimensions of 4705mm in length, 1860mm in width, and 1720mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2780mm. It features front-wheel drive, with a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. The Changan Oushang X7 is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. This engine delivers a maximum power of 131kW and a maximum torque of 265Nm. Additionally, the engine incorporates direct fuel injection technology and utilizes an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block.
I recently replaced the air conditioning filter for my Changan Oushan, which is hidden behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. When removing the glove box, first empty its contents, then locate the plastic clips on both sides and squeeze them inward firmly to detach the entire box. Lift the rectangular cover panel at the back to reveal the filter slot. When pulling out the old filter, remember the direction of the airflow arrow—the new filter must be inserted in the same direction, otherwise it will affect filtration efficiency. DIY replacement is the most cost-effective, costing just 20 yuan. It’s recommended to replace it annually before summer, especially in dusty northern areas. Be careful not to force plastic parts during disassembly—last time, I accidentally broke a clip and had to pay 50 yuan for repairs. Searching for a tutorial specific to your car model online is safer.
