Where is the oil filter located on the Geely Binyue?

[VanAbel]

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.

I remember in the year I first bought the car, I had no idea about these things. It wasn't until a technician taught me during maintenance at the 4S shop that I understood. The oil filter of the Binyue is actually hidden in the middle-right position of the chassis, and you need professional equipment to lift the car to see it. Now, when the maintenance reminder light comes on for my new car, I always make an appointment with the 4S shop first, as they have more complete specialized tools. Once, out of curiosity, I watched them operate—after removing the protective plate, the black cylinder that was exposed is it. Note that some modified cars have an additional third protective plate, making it harder to remove. Although some guys enjoy doing it themselves, for girls, it's more worry-free to leave it to the professionals.

I've changed the oil filter three times myself on the Geely Binyue, and the design is quite reasonable. On the 1.5T model, the oil filter is located near the connection between the oil pan and the engine. You can reach it by removing the front wheel mudguard. The exact position is under the chassis, right below the driver's feet. Once, when I was working in a repair pit, I could clearly see the silver filter housing when lying down. However, I recommend getting a filter wrench as it's hard to loosen by hand. Always remember to clean the surrounding oil stains before installing a new filter. And don't believe those online suggestions about extending the replacement interval - I change it every 7,500 km without fail, because protecting the engine is the top priority.

As experienced drivers know, the oil filter location mainly depends on the engine model. For common Binyue models: the 1.0T version has it on the left side of the valve cover, visible when opening the hood; the 1.4T version is near the throttle position; while the 1.5T requires crawling under the car to find it. Last time during hands-on training with an apprentice, we discovered it's located at the angle between the right subframe and the crossmember. Three key points when operating: working on a cold engine is safest, always replace the sealing ring when changing the filter, and finally run the engine for ten minutes to check for oil leaks. Also reminding owners that positions may have minor adjustments across different model years - don't just rely on online videos before operating.
