Where is the oil filter located on the Tiggo 8?
2 Answers
The oil filter of the Tiggo 8 is located under the engine, in front of the oil pump. Here is some extended information about oil filters: 1. The oil filter ensures the cleanliness of the oil in addition to filtration. 2. If the oil bypasses the oil filter, it can reduce the engine's service life. 3. The function of the oil filter is to remove impurities, gums, and moisture from the oil, delivering clean oil to all lubrication points. The replacement frequency for the oil filter is as follows: 1. For frequent car use, the oil filter should be replaced every 8,000 km. 2. Under harsh conditions, such as frequent driving on dusty roads, it should be replaced every 5,000 km.
I've been driving the Tiggo 8 for several years, and the oil filter is usually located in the engine compartment, near the front or bottom of the engine. After opening the hood, carefully check the side area of the engine—you'll typically find a cylindrical metal or plastic component, which is the oil filter. It must be replaced every time you change the oil to filter out impurities and protect the engine. Last time I forgot to replace it during maintenance, and the car noticeably shook during acceleration. Later, inspection revealed severe filter clogging. The location is designed for convenience, but there might be slight variations depending on the model year. It's best to refer to the owner's manual or repair diagrams. Regular replacement can avoid costly overhauls, and I personally recommend having a technician handle it during each maintenance check to ensure everything runs smoothly.
