Where is the oil filter of Peugeot 4008 located?
3 Answers
The oil filter of Peugeot 4008 is located at the front top of the engine and below the engine. Here is more information about the oil filter: 1. The main function of the filter is to remove impurities from the engine oil, which may cause clogging over time. 2. The oil filter is one of the wear parts of a car. It needs to be replaced every time the engine oil is changed. If the oil filter is not replaced, the effect of changing the engine oil will be minimal. 3. The oil filter is located in the engine lubrication system. Its function is to filter out harmful impurities from the oil in the oil pan and supply clean oil to other components.
As an experienced DIY car maintenance enthusiast, I've studied the oil filter location on the Peugeot 4008. This model comes with either a 1.6T or 1.8T engine, but the oil filter is positioned at the front-right section of the engine bay in both cases. You'll need to remove the black plastic protective cover first, then locate the silver metal engine block and look towards the junction between the engine and firewall - that blue or white twist-off plastic cap (smaller than a fist) is the oil filter. Note that on newer models, it might be hidden beneath the intake manifold, requiring a special wrench for angled operation. Last time I changed it, I noticed the oil filter base gasket tends to age and leak, so I recommend replacing the gasket every time. Remember to work on a cold engine - hot engine oil can cause serious burns.
My 4008 just had its maintenance, and the oil filter location is indeed a bit hidden. Don't be intimidated by all the pipes when you open the hood—head straight to the area behind the engine near the windshield. The mechanic taught me to crouch down and look at a 45-degree angle from the front of the car toward the back of the engine, where you can spot a ribbed cylindrical plastic casing—that's the oil filter. He used an extended socket to reach it during the operation, as it's tucked too far inside for a hand to fit directly. A special reminder: don't mistakenly remove the red-capped coolant reservoir next to it. Nowadays, 4S shops use oil extraction for oil changes, but they still need to remove the underbody shield to inspect the oil pan drain plug.
