Geely Binyue's oil filter is located at the front top of the engine and beneath the engine. Here are the specific details about the Geely Binyue: 1. Exterior: The Bin series is a new lineup created by Geely to cater to young consumers, featuring the familiar ripple-style family front grille design. It comes with two front grille styles - sporty and standard - to appeal to different consumers. The sporty version adopts a more flattened black logo, sharper fog lights, and an outwardly protruding carbon fiber-like front lip, further enhancing the sporty feel. 2. Interior: The Binyue features a space-inspired black and brown color scheme, with a wraparound aircraft cockpit design for the center console. It is equipped with the ICC intelligent navigation system, including TJA traffic jam assist and LKA lane keeping systems, which can maintain the lane at all times and achieve intelligent following with features like follow-to-go, follow-to-stop, and follow-to-turn. Additionally, the APA fully automatic parking system enables horizontal and vertical parking as well as horizontal parking exit functions, with no need for the driver to control the steering wheel, throttle, or brake during the process. 3. Powertrain: The Binyue offers two engine options - 1.0T and 1.5T, paired with either a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission or a 6-speed manual transmission. The 1.5T turbocharged engine, jointly developed by Geely and Volvo, delivers a maximum power of 130kW (177PS) and a peak torque of 255Nm.
Last time I changed the oil myself, I located the oil filter position on the Binyue. It's positioned at the bottom of the engine compartment near the oil pan. You'll need to remove the underbody shield first and crouch down to spot that black cylindrical component. The filter is located behind the front wheel on the driver's side and requires a 27mm socket for removal. Having done this twice myself, I'd advise waiting for the engine to cool before operating to avoid burns. Remember to apply fresh oil on the rubber seal before installing the new filter. For 1.5T models, the filter sits slightly lower than on 1.4T variants, so using a lift would be safer. The maintenance manual's page 87 provides a detailed location diagram for reference.
As a seasoned mechanic specializing in Geely vehicles, let me tell you that the Binyue's oil filter is generally located at the lower right side of the engine. There are slight positional variations depending on the engine displacement: for the 1.4T engine, the filter is near the transmission-side bracket, while the 1.5T version is closer to the crankcase ventilation pipe. During replacement, we need to lift the vehicle and remove the plastic underbody panel to access it. Remember to tighten the filter with a torque wrench to approximately 25 N·m – too loose and it'll leak oil, too tight and you'll damage the sealing gasket. I recommend checking the filter housing for sludge buildup every 5,000 km during oil changes. I've seen cases where the filter element ruptured due to being jammed by oil deposits.
