Where is the oil filter element of the Volkswagen CC located?

The oil filter element of the Volkswagen CC is located inside the fuel tank. Introduction to the oil filter element: The oil filter element, also known as the oil filter, functions to remove debris, gum, and moisture from the engine oil, delivering clean oil to various lubrication points. Reasons for using an oil filter element: To reduce friction resistance between moving parts in the engine and minimize component wear, engine oil is continuously supplied to the friction surfaces of moving parts, forming a lubricating oil film. Engine oil inherently contains a certain amount of gum, impurities, moisture, and additives. During engine operation, the introduction of metal particles, airborne contaminants, and the generation of oil oxidation products gradually increase the impurities in the oil. If the oil is not filtered before entering the lubrication circuit, these impurities can be carried into the friction surfaces of moving parts, accelerating wear and reducing the engine's service life.
I remember the location of the oil filter for the Volkswagen CC very clearly. Open the hood, and it's right on top of the engine towards the front—a black plastic canister. Last time I changed the oil myself, I had to use a special wrench to open the canister and replace the paper filter inside. Remember to apply some fresh oil to the sealing ring before reinstalling it to prevent leaks. After replacing it, check the oil dipstick and add new oil to the appropriate level. If you're handy with tools, you can get it done in about half an hour with the right equipment, but it's best to watch a tutorial video for your first time. Nowadays, many auto repair shops include oil filter replacement as part of their oil change service, making it hassle-free.
