Oil filter, also known as oil grid. It is used to remove dust, metal particles, carbon deposits and soot particles in engine oil and protect the engine. When the engine is running, with the operation of the oil pump, the oil with impurities enters the oil filter from the oil inlet on the bottom plate assembly of the oil filter, and passes through the check valve to the outside of the filter paper for filtering. Under the action of the oil pressure, the oil continuously passes through the filter paper and enters the center tube, while the impurities in the oil remain on the filter paper.
The function of the oil filter is as follows:
1、In general, The various parts in the engine are lubricated by the engine oil to achieve normal operation, but the metal debris generated when the parts are running, the dust that enters, the carbon deposits that are oxidized at high temperatures, and some water vapor will continue to be mixed into the engine oil. The service life of the oil will be reduced over time, and it may affect the normal operation of the engine in severe cases.;
2、Therefore, the role of the oil filter is reflected at this time. Simply put, the role of the oil filter is to filter most of the impurities in the oil, keep the standby oil clean, and extend its normal service life;
3、In addition, the oil filter should also have strong filtering capacity, low flow resistance, and long service life.
