Best Answer

You can continue to clean the cartridge until it begins to have worn places, tiny holes or other obvious damage. If it gets to the point that the pores of the fabric are clogged it needs to be replaced. You should be able to monitor the pressure guage. There should be a noticeable difference before/after cleaning, if not it's too clogged.

Where is the fuel filter located on a 2007 Saturn Vue 4-cylinder?

This engine does not have your typical screw on style filter. It is just a cartridge. If you look on the drivers side of the intake manifold you will see a black cap with a big hex on the top of it. That is where the filter is. Remove that cap and replace the filter. This is for the oil filter!!!!!!

Where is the location of the oil filter on Hyundai ix35 diesel engine?

If you slide under the front of the IX35 you will see a round plastic cap that is fitted to the plastic guard underneath the motor. The cap has a plastic clip to hold it in place, so just push the clip in and the cap will come off. You then have a plastic filter cover with a large plastic nut on the bottom and a small allen key bolt in the middle of it. The filter is a replacement cartridge filter and costs $59 in Australia. To replace the filter undo the small allen key bolt to let the oil out of the filter housing and the undo the housing. Remove the cartridge filter and replace with a new one. Replace the O rings ( comes with the filter ) and torque to correct specs.
