2 Answers
The oil filter of the Dongfeng Fengshen AX7 is located on the side of the cylinder block. The function of the oil filter is to filter out impurities, gum, and moisture from the engine oil, delivering clean oil to various lubrication points. Taking the 2021 Dongfeng Fengshen AX7 as an example, it is a compact SUV with body dimensions of 4645mm in length, 1880mm in width, and 1670mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2715mm. The 2021 Dongfeng Fengshen AX7 is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 150PS, a maximum torque of 230Nm, and a maximum power of 110kW, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
As a seasoned driver who has owned a Dongfeng Fengshen AX7 for many years, I'm very familiar with the location of the oil filter. It's positioned at the front lower part of the engine compartment, near the oil pan, shaped like a cylinder, and typically comes in black or metallic color. When inspecting it myself, I usually let the car cool down first to avoid burns, then either crouch down or slightly lift the vehicle with a jack for a closer look. Replacing the filter is straightforward—no professional tools are needed, just an oil filter wrench to unscrew it. But remember to install a new sealing ring when fitting the new filter to prevent oil leaks. Regularly changing this filter is crucial; replacing it with every oil change helps protect the engine internals from contaminants and extends the vehicle's lifespan. This small habit can save a lot on repair costs. Always prioritize safety by ensuring the car is on level ground and stable during lifting operations.
