Where is the oil filter element of the Boyue located?

The oil filter element of the Boyue is located at the upper right front of the engine and can be seen by opening the engine hood. The functions of the oil filter element are: 1. To reduce the friction resistance between moving parts in the engine and minimize part wear; 2. To filter out impurities, gum, and moisture from the engine oil. The Boyue is a compact SUV under Geely, with body dimensions of 4519 mm in length, 1831 mm in width, 1694 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2670 mm. The Boyue is equipped with a 1.8T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 120 kW at 5500 rpm and a maximum torque of 250 N·m, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
Having driven the Geely Boyue for many years, my experience tells me that the oil filter is located on the lower side of the engine block, specifically just above the oil pan. You can reach the black cylindrical metal canister by reaching up from underneath the car. When replacing it, first loosen the drain bolt to let the old oil drain completely, then use a specialized wrench to unscrew the old filter counterclockwise. The location is quite well-designed, as it's far from the exhaust pipe, minimizing the risk of burns. If you're doing it yourself, remember to prepare a new sealing ring and ensure the new filter model matches. It's best to let the car sit on level ground for half an hour before changing the oil to allow impurities to settle. The area around the filter tends to accumulate sludge, so it's recommended to use carburetor cleaner every two maintenance sessions to keep it clean.
