2 Answers
Dongfeng Fengshen AX7's oil filter is located under the hood, at the upper left corner of the engine. Taking the 2021 Dongfeng Fengshen AX7 as an example, it belongs to the compact SUV category, with body dimensions of: length 4645mm, width 1880mm, height 1670mm, a wheelbase of 2715mm, a fuel tank capacity of 61 liters, and a curb weight of 1542kg. The 2021 Dongfeng Fengshen AX7 features a McPherson independent front suspension and a double-wishbone independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 150PS, a maximum power of 110kW, and a maximum torque of 230Nm, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
Speaking of the location of the oil filter for Dongfeng Fengshen AX7, I remember studying it carefully when I did the car maintenance myself last time. It is usually located on the lower right side of the engine compartment, near the oil pan area. After opening the hood, squat down and look toward the right wheel at the front of the car, and you'll see a cylindrical component—some have metal casings, while others are plastic. The position is relatively easy to locate, but make sure the car is parked safely and cooled down before operating to avoid burns. The main function of the oil filter is to remove impurities from the engine oil to prevent engine damage. I recommend replacing it every 5,000 kilometers or every six months, synchronized with oil changes, to extend the engine's lifespan. I didn’t pay attention to it before, and the clogged filter caused a sharp increase in fuel consumption, costing me a lot in repairs—now I’ve learned my lesson.
