Where is the oil filter of Dongfeng Peugeot 4008 located?
2 Answers
The oil filter of Peugeot 4008 is located at the bottom of the engine. Here are some related introductions about the oil filter: 1. The oil filter is an oil cleaner, whose function is to filter out impurities, colloids, and moisture in the oil, and deliver clean oil to various lubrication parts. 2. When the engine is working, impurities in the air will enter it, and the oil will also oxidize to produce a certain amount of oxides, which will increase the impurities in the oil. 3. Oil with impurities entering the lubrication circuit will wear related parts, and the engine's lifespan will also be reduced. When performing oil maintenance, the oil filter must be replaced along with the oil.
I always enjoy changing the oil filter myself and am quite familiar with the Dongfeng Peugeot 4008. Its oil filter is located underneath the car, specifically near the oil pan at the front lower part of the engine. There's a plastic guard plate covering it, which requires removing several screws first to access the filter. The filter is a cylindrical component, usually black with threaded ports, and can be unscrewed using a wrench for replacement. The concealed placement is designed to protect against collisions and contamination, but changing it requires lifting the vehicle or using a pit, otherwise it's out of reach. A reminder: let the engine cool down before replacement to avoid burning your hands with hot oil; also, lay down an oil cloth to catch any spills and keep the ground clean. If unsure, refer to the vehicle manual for diagrams and exact positioning. Don’t overlook regular filter changes—they save fuel and protect the engine. I check mine every 5,000 kilometers to ensure it's not clogged. Safety first: have gloves and a flashlight ready. It gets much simpler with experience.
