I used to drive a Dongfeng AX7, and the oil filter is located inside the engine compartment—you can find it by opening the hood. Typically, it’s positioned at the front lower part or the side of the engine, specifically near the oil pan, close to the front wheels. It looks like a small cylindrical component. I often change the oil and filter myself because it saves money and hassle. To locate it precisely, you can sit in the driver’s seat, open the hood support, and then follow along the engine to find it. If the car is newer, it might be easier to reach on the front left side. Remember to check if the filter is properly sealed every time you change the oil, as a poor seal can lead to leaks and affect engine performance. Regular maintenance is crucial to keep the car running smoothly and extend its lifespan.

How often should a family sedan be serviced?

For family sedans, the first service requirements vary by brand. Some require the first service at three months or 3,000 kilometers, while others specify six months or 5,000 kilometers—whichever comes first. If you're unsure about your vehicle's first service interval, refer to the maintenance manual that comes with the car. After the first service, regular maintenance should be performed at fixed time or mileage intervals, typically every six months or 5,000 kilometers. The first service is the initial maintenance after the vehicle leaves the factory and hits the road. In addition to routine oil and filter changes, technicians will also inspect the vehicle's major components. Therefore, it's important to schedule maintenance at the dealership according to the specified time or mileage.

Can the car still be driven if the mudguard falls off?

Yes, the car can still be driven if the mudguard falls off. You just need to go to an auto repair shop to replace it. The mudguard can effectively protect the car body and prevent scratches. As the name suggests, the car mudguard is used to block mud. It is installed behind the four tires of the car. The front two are fixed on the left and right lower sills, and the rear two are fixed on the rear bumper (this is the case for most models). Below is a detailed introduction to car mudguards: 1. Function: The function of the car mudguard is to block mud. Generally, in rainy weather, especially on muddy roads, there will be a lot of mud on the car tires, which sometimes gets on the car body. When the car is equipped with mudguards, it can help the car block mud and sand. 2. Material: The mudguard is a plate structure installed behind the outer frame of the wheel, usually made of high-quality rubber, and some are made of engineering plastic. 3. Installation effect: The mudguard is usually installed behind the car wheels as a metal shield, leather shield, plastic shield, or rubber shield. After installation, the mudguard protrudes about 5cm from the car body, effectively preventing flying stones and gravel from damaging the car's paint surface.
