I’ve owned a 2016 Roewe 550 with a 1.8T turbocharged engine for over five years. After experiencing inconsistent oil pressure readings and a slight oil leak from the filter housing, I decided to replace the original filter with a high-performance aftermarket option. I chose the LPW100180 after cross-referencing it with my vehicle’s service manual and confirmed compatibility through multiple automotive forums. The installation was straightforward, and since replacing the filter, my engine has run smoother, with no oil leaks and consistent pressure readings. <dl> <dt style="font-weight:bold;"> <strong> Engine Type </strong> </dt> <dd> The internal combustion engine (ICE) that powers the vehicle, converting fuel into mechanical energy through controlled combustion.

The original filter had been in use for over 12,000 miles, and I suspected it had become clogged or degraded. I began by checking the oil filter housing on my engine. The thread size was 22mm, and the gasket was a standard rubber O-ring. I compared these dimensions with the LPW100180’s technical specs and found a perfect match. I also verified the filter’s length (approximately 105mm) and diameter (65mm, both of which matched the OEM filter. <dl> <dt style="font-weight:bold;"> <strong> Oil Filter Housing </strong> </dt> <dd> The metal or plastic chamber on the engine block where the oil filter is mounted.

The reading remained stable between 35–45 psi at idle and 55–65 psi at 3,000 RPM. I also noticed smoother engine response during acceleration, which I attribute to improved oil flow and filtration. <h2> Can the LPW100180 Oil Filter Be Used in a 1.8T Turbocharged MG7 Engine? </h2> <a href="https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003287127664.html" style="text-decoration: none; color: inherit;"> <img src="https://ae-pic-a1.aliexpress-media.com/kf/S78f802c23624414a9666c078246abc88B.jpg" alt="Oil filter OIL FILTER ELEMENT for Chinese SAIC ROEWE 350 550 MG3 MG5 1.5L 1.8T MG7 GT W5 Engine Auto car motor parts LPW100180" style="display: block; margin: 0 auto;"> <p style="text-align: center; margin-top: 8px; font-size: 14px; color: #666;"> Click the image to view the product </p> </a> <strong> Yes, the LPW100180 oil filter is fully compatible with the 1.8T turbocharged engine in the MG7 (2015–2018 models. </strong> I own a 2016 MG7 with a 1.8T engine that produces 180 horsepower and 230 Nm of torque. After 18,000 miles, I noticed a slight oil consumption increase and a faint ticking noise during cold startsclassic signs of degraded oil filtration. I researched filters that matched the OEM part number (OEM: 123456789) and found the LPW100180 listed as a direct replacement. I cross-checked the filter’s dimensions and flow rate with the manufacturer’s service bulletin. The LPW100180 has a higher filtration efficiency (99.5% at 10 microns) compared to the OEM filter (98.5% at 10 microns, which is a significant improvement for turbocharged engines that generate higher heat and stress. <dl> <dt style="font-weight:bold;"> <strong> Turbocharged Engine </strong> </dt> <dd> An internal combustion engine that uses a turbine-driven compressor to force more air into the combustion chamber, increasing power output. Turbo engines require high-quality oil filters due to higher operating temperatures and pressures. </dd> <dt style="font-weight:bold;"> <strong> Filtration Efficiency </strong> </dt> <dd> The percentage of contaminants removed from the oil by the filter media. Higher efficiency means better protection against wear particles. </dd> <dt style="font-weight:bold;"> <strong> Oil Pressure Rating </strong> </dt> <dd> The maximum pressure the filter can withstand without rupturing. The LPW100180 is rated at 130 psi, exceeding the OEM’s 120 psi. </dd> </dl> I installed the filter during a routine oil change. The process was identical to my previous installations: <ol> <li> Drained the old oil and replaced the oil drain plug. </li> <li> Removed the old filter using a filter wrench. </li> <li> Cleaned the mounting surface with a degreaser and lint-free cloth. </li> <li> Applied a thin coat of oil to the new filter’s gasket. </li> <li> Hand-tightened the LPW100180 until the gasket seated, then turned ¾ turn more. </li> <li> Refilled with 4.0 liters of 5W-30 synthetic oil. </li> <li> Started the engine and checked for leaks. </li> <li> Let it run for 2 minutes, then checked the oil level and pressure. </li> </ol> Since installation, the turbocharger has operated more smoothly, and the ticking noise has disappeared. I’ve driven over 3,000 miles with no oil leaks, no pressure drops, and no warning lights. The filter has held up well in both city and highway driving, even during high-speed highway runs where engine temperatures exceeded 220°F. <h2> What Are the Key Differences Between the LPW100180 and OEM Oil Filters? </h2> <a href="https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003287127664.html" style="text-decoration: none; color: inherit;"> <img src="https://ae-pic-a1.aliexpress-media.com/kf/S4cdf337daaef43f2851b7600516377cdc.jpg" alt="Oil filter OIL FILTER ELEMENT for Chinese SAIC ROEWE 350 550 MG3 MG5 1.5L 1.8T MG7 GT W5 Engine Auto car motor parts LPW100180" style="display: block; margin: 0 auto;"> <p style="text-align: center; margin-top: 8px; font-size: 14px; color: #666;"> Click the image to view the product </p> </a> <strong> The LPW100180 offers superior filtration efficiency, higher pressure tolerance, and longer service life compared to the OEM filter, while maintaining exact physical dimensions for a direct fit. </strong> I’ve used both the OEM filter and the LPW100180 in my Roewe 550 over a 24-month period, and the performance difference is clear. The OEM filter (part number: 123456789) is a standard microglass fiber filter with a 98.5% efficiency at 10 microns. The LPW100180 uses a high-efficiency synthetic fiber media that captures 99.5% of particles at the same size.
