Where is the oil filter located on the Peugeot 4008?
1 Answers
The oil filter is located at the lower front of the engine block. Here are detailed explanations about the oil filter: 1. The oil filter, also known as the oil cleaner, functions to remove impurities, gums, and moisture from the engine oil, delivering clean oil to various lubrication points. 2. To reduce friction between moving parts in the engine and minimize wear, oil is continuously circulated to the friction surfaces of moving components, forming a lubricating film. 3. Engine oil inherently contains certain amounts of gums, impurities, moisture, and additives. During engine operation, the introduction of metal particles, airborne contaminants, and the formation of oil oxidation products gradually increase the impurities in the oil. 4. If the oil is not filtered before entering the lubrication circuit, the impurities it carries will reach the friction surfaces of moving parts, accelerating wear and shortening the engine's service life.
