Changing the oil filter with every oil service helps protect your engine from abrasive particles and contaminants. Most new filters include replacement O-rings — install them correctly and tighten the filter housing to 25 Nm.
City Driving Tip:
If you frequently drive in urban conditions with heavy loads, replacing the oil filter at 7,500 km can be beneficial.

The cabin filter removes dust, pollen, and odors from the air entering your vehicle interior. Activated carbon filters help reduce unpleasant smells as well.
Pro Tips
- If you smell diesel or exhaust fumes in the cabin, sealing gaps around the filter housing with foam tape can help.
- Make sure wiring entry points near the battery are sealed to prevent fumes from getting in.

⭐ Why Quality Filters Matter (SEO + User Value)
✔️ Improved Filtration
Low-quality filters often only trap coarse particles. Fine dust and contaminants can reach critical engine parts and the turbocharger.
✔️ Better Fuel & Air Balance
Efficient filters maintain the ideal air-fuel ratio, which helps fuel economy and smoother engine performance.
✔️ Longer Component Life
High-quality filtration reduces sensor contamination and wear on engine components.
