Where is the oil filter located on the Lifan X60?

In the Lifan X60 car, the engine fluid filter is located in the engine compartment. On this model of Chinese cars, it is better to install and dismantle the filter element from under the bottom of the car.

Due to the inconvenient location, it is almost impossible to remove the filter from above, from the engine compartment. This is prevented by a hot exhaust manifold.

Therefore, you can only get to it with one hand, but doing it this way will not work. Especially if you are changing engine fluid for the first time. When the filter is installed at the factory, it is apparently not lubricated, as a result of which the element simply sticks to the thread.

Step by step replacement guide

If you are doing a lubricant change consumable ICE in the Lifan X60, then in any case you will need to change the oil filter component. If you understand what in question, then you can carry out these repairs yourself, as even a novice motorist can do it. But if you are not sure that you can do everything right, then we recommend that you entrust this business to a professional at the service station. Consider the process of self-changing consumables and the Lifan filter element below.

What will be required for this?

Prepare ahead of time:

• new oil filter;
• new motor fluid;
• screwdriver
• sandpaper;
• chisel;
• hammer.

The last two tools will be needed if dismantling the part with a screwdriver and sandpaper does not work.

Step by step instructions

As mentioned above, the Lifan X60 filter will have to be dismantled from under the bottom. So if you decide to replace the consumables yourself, then in any case you will need to find a garage with a pit or a flyover. Of course, in clean clothes, you should not change consumables. So, drive your Lifan X60 into the pit and open the hood.

1. Your car probably has crankcase protection. Take a wrench on "13" and unscrew all the screws securing the protective tray. If you have the opportunity, then use a socket head, since it will be very inconvenient to do this with a nut, since the screws are slightly recessed.
2. After unscrewing the screws, dismantle the crankcase protection.
3. Next, you will be able to see the oil pan. To drain the used consumable, you need to unscrew the drain bolt. He is alone here, so you will not confuse him with anything. If necessary, clean the bolt of dirt. With help wrench at "15" you need to loosen the screw, but do not unscrew it completely.
4. After loosening the bolt, remove the key to the side. Substitute a container under it, in which you will collect the spent "consumable", and unscrew the screw completely. Be careful - the oil is very hot. Also try not to lose the screw along with the o-ring.
5. When all consumables are drained from the engine, tighten the drain screw. Now you can do the oil filter. From above it does not allow the intake manifold and high temperature to be removed. And the point is not whether it is hot or not, but that it is simply impossible to remove the filter with one hand in most cases.
6. Most likely, like most owners of the Lifan X60, the oil filter is installed tightly, as it has stuck to the thread. In this case, unscrewing it by hand in any case will not work. First, use a screwdriver - pierce the cylindrical body of the part with it and use it as a lever and unscrew the part counterclockwise.
7. If this does not work out, then wrap the body of the part with sandpaper and try to unscrew it like that. It is desirable that the "sandpaper" be as large as possible so that it can "grab" the body. If this does not help, then use a hammer with a chisel and try to knock out the filter. The last option is the most efficient.
8. You need to wipe the seat with a rag.
9. Use only original products, refrain from purchasing fakes. The original oil filter is LF479Q1-1017100A. Before direct installation of the element, the threads and gum must be lubricated with motor fluid. So that next time you will not have problems with its dismantling. Screw the element by hand, without screwing it in hard.
10. After that, reinstall and tighten the drain bolt. If there are mechanical damages on it, then it is better to install a new bolt. On this, your work under the bottom is completed.
11. Locate the filler cap for consumables under the hood, unscrew it.
12. Pour new engine fluid into the engine. About 2.4 liters of fluid will enter the motor, so purchase at least three liters of “consumable” in advance. Pour fluid inside and check the level on the dipstick. Now you can tighten the filler plug.
13. Next, start the engine and wait about five minutes until it completely drives the fluid through the system.
14. Go down under the bottom of the car and check it visually for leaks.
15. Shut off the engine and check the level again, add if necessary. Remember that the consumable level should be approximately between the MIN and MAX marks.
16. Having done this, reinstall the crankcase protection.
