Where is the oil filter of Haval H2 located?

Generally, the oil filter of a car is located on the engine block. In some vehicles, the oil filter can be seen by simply opening the engine hood, while in others, it requires lifting the car with a jack to view the oil filter. Levels of oil filters: Oil filters typically have three levels: the oil strainer, the primary oil filter, and the secondary oil filter. Removal of the oil filter: Open the engine hood, unscrew the oil cap, locate the oil pan, find the nut on the oil pan, loosen it with a wrench, and place a used oil container underneath. Wait until all the black used oil has drained completely. Meanwhile, use a specialized tool to remove the oil filter.
The oil filter of the Haval H2 is located near the oil pan under the engine, typically appearing as a cylindrical metal canister. I've checked it several times while driving this car myself—the position isn't very obvious and requires lifting the vehicle and crawling underneath to locate it easily. During routine oil changes, the filter is replaced as well since it's the component that filters out impurities; when old, it can clog and affect engine performance. I usually find a flat spot to stabilize the jack, wear gloves to protect my hands, use a wrench to remove the old filter, and install the new one, tightening it moderately without overdoing it. Remember to let the engine cool before replacing the filter to avoid hot oil burns. Always proceed with caution during each operation—regular maintenance helps extend the vehicle's lifespan.
Replacing the oil filter is crucial for the Haval H2. It's located at the bottom side of the engine, near the oil pump. I've seen mechanics handle it at regular repair shops before - simply put, the filter acts like a strainer to keep the oil clean and protect the engine. If you're doing it yourself, make sure the car is completely turned off and cooled down. Safety first when jacking up the vehicle, otherwise slipping could cause injury. The position is somewhat hidden, you might need to feel around under the car to locate the cylindrical component. It's recommended to change the filter with every oil change, typically every 5,000 kilometers. If you frequently drive in dusty conditions, change it more often. Take your time with the whole process, steady and careful is the way to go.
