Where is the oil filter located on the Haval H6?
2 Answers
The oil filter is located in the engine lubrication system, primarily at the front top of the engine and beneath the engine. Below is relevant information about the Haval H6: Function: The oil filter's function is to filter the car's fuel. Replacement Interval: Generally, it is every 5,000 kilometers. Most cars use non-detachable, disposable filters that cannot be cleaned. When changing the lubricating oil, the oil filter must also be replaced; otherwise, it may affect the quality of the lubricating oil. Since the oil must pass through the oil filter to reach the lubrication points, the oil filter's role is to filter impurities from the oil entering the engine system. This prevents impurities (such as dust, metal particles, and sludge formed by oil oxidation) from continuously mixing into the oil during circulation, which could lead to oil passage blockages and even severe engine damage.
Over the years of driving my Haval H6, I've changed the oil filter several times myself. The oil filter is located on the lower left side of the engine, near the oil pan. To access it, you'll need to jack up the car or use an inspection pit, then look from underneath the chassis – it's a cylindrical black component. When doing it yourself, first use a wrench to remove the old filter, and apply some fresh oil to the new filter's seal before installation for better sealing. Regularly replacing this part helps the engine run longer and quieter, improves fuel efficiency, and reduces potential issues. Beginners should first learn some basic knowledge or seek help from professional shops to avoid oil leaks from improper operation.
