FAW Jiefang Truck Filters Guide

FAW Jiefang at a Glance

FAW (First Automobile Works) is one of China's oldest and largest vehicle makers, founded in 1953 in Changchun, Jilin, and best known for its Jiefang commercial trucks, which have been built since 1956. FAW Jiefang trucks are widely used for long-haul transport, logistics, construction, and bulk freight in China and in export markets across Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America.

Main FAW Jiefang Truck Models

Jiefang J6P and J6M. The J6 series is the core of FAW's heavy and medium-heavy range, used as tractor units, rigid trucks, and tippers. J6P trucks are commonly fitted with the CA6DL and CA6DM engines.

Jiefang JH6. A heavy-duty range available with FAW and Weichai engines, popular for long-haul and general freight.

Jiefang J5 (Aowei J5P and Hanwei J5M). Earlier-generation trucks still in widespread service, which keeps their filters in steady demand.

Tian V and New Dawei. Medium and light-heavy trucks used for regional distribution and general freight.

Common FAW Filter Numbers

FAW's engines and the Weichai engines used in some Jiefang trucks share many filters. While exact filter part numbers depend on the engine and build, the following numbers appear frequently in FAW Jiefang maintenance:

Oil Filters

• 1012010-81DM and 1012010-81DF – FAW oil filter numbers widely used on J6 trucks, matching Mann W 11 102/16, Baldwin B7460, Donaldson R010059, Fleetguard LF4112, and WIX WL10188
• 1012010AD6 – Another FAW reference for the same filter family
• 1012010-53D – FAW oil filter number listed for J6 trucks from 2014, alongside VG1540070007 (HOWO) and JX1023
• WIX WL10193 – Oil filter for the CA6DL1, CA6DL2, and CA6DL3 engines in J6M, J6P, Tian V, Aowei J5P, Hanwei J5M, and New Dawei (96 mm diameter, 167 mm tall, 1-12 UNF thread)
• WIX WL10407 – Long-life oil filter for JH6 and Tian V trucks with Weichai WP12 and WP13 engines

Fuel Filters

• 1117010-81D – Fine fuel filter listed for FAW J6, JAC N350, Shacman, and Weichai WP10, WP12, and WP13
• 612630080087 – Fuel filter element listed for FAW J6 with the Xichai CA6DM and Weichai engines, matching Weichai 1000422382
• WIX WF10327 – Fuel filter for CA6DL1 and CA6DL2 engines in the J6P and Aowei J5P (96 mm diameter, 147 mm tall, M18x1.5 thread)
• Donaldson R010018 – Fuel filter listed for FAW 6DM, 6DM2, and 6DN engines and Weichai WP10, WP12, and WP13, matching Fleetguard FF5740 and FF5770, Baldwin BF9817, and Mann WDK111024

Air Filters

• Mann CF 4140 – Secondary air filter element for the J6P with the CA6DM3 engine
• 1109010-362 and 1109010-435 – FAW air filter housings, with the 2841 housing also listed as HOWO WG9725190200

These numbers are useful references when identifying the correct replacement. Always confirm the exact filter by engine model, emission standard, or existing filter part number when possible.

FAW Filter Maintenance

Oil filters. Replace the oil filter with every oil change. FAW and Weichai engines in long-haul service can use extended intervals only with appropriate oil and filters, so follow the manual.

Fuel filters. FAW's fuel filters are sensitive to water and sediment. Replace on schedule, drain the water separator regularly, and prime the system after replacement.

Air filters. Larger engines such as the CA6DM3 use a primary and secondary air element. Replace the primary when restricted and the secondary on schedule, and keep spares for dusty routes.

Engine variants. A JH6 with a Weichai engine and a J6P with a FAWDE engine can look similar but use different filters. Always identify the engine before ordering.

Service intervals depend on the engine model, emission standard, oil specification, fuel quality, road and load conditions, and the manufacturer's maintenance schedule. Always follow the schedule for your specific vehicle.

How to Identify the Correct FAW Filter

• Read the engine model from the engine plate: CA6DL1, CA6DL2, CA6DM3, WP10, WP12, WP13 and so on.
• Note the truck model (J6P, J6M, JH6, J5P, Tian V) and the production year.
• Compare the old filter's number, height, diameter, and thread to the replacement.
• Remember that many FAW filters cross to HOWO and Weichai numbers, which helps with mixed fleets.

Frequently Asked Questions

What oil filter does a FAW J6P use? J6 trucks commonly use FAW 1012010-81DM or 1012010-81DF, or the equivalent WIX WL10193 for the CA6DL engines. Verify by engine model.

Do FAW and HOWO share filters? Some, yes. For example, HOWO VG1540070007 is listed alongside FAW 1012010-81DF, and the 2841 air filter housing is listed for both brands. Always confirm by dimensions.

What fuel filter does a FAW J6 with a Weichai engine use? Weichai 1000422382 (listed with FAW 612630080087) is commonly used for WP10, WP12, and WP13 in FAW trucks, but confirm by engine model.

Can aftermarket filters be used on FAW trucks? Yes, if they meet or exceed the original specification for efficiency, flow, and pressure rating and come from a manufacturer able to supply test data.

For fleets, importers, and distributors sourcing replacement filters for FAW Jiefang trucks, ADAOER Filter manufactures fuel, oil, air, hydraulic, and cabin filters for trucks, buses, and heavy machinery, and supports OEM/ODM development for custom specifications.
