The internal components of the engine are lubricated with oil to achieve normal operation. When the engine is running, metal debris, dust, and moisture will constantly mix into the engine oil. Over time, it will reduce the service life of the engine oil and even affect the normal operation of the engine.
The oil filter is mainly used to filter impurities in the oil, ensuring its cleanliness and extending its normal service life. By filtering through the oil filter, mechanical wear is reduced and the working efficiency of the engine is improved.
There are certain standards for the selection of oil filters, and it is best for us to purchase the most suitable oil filter according to the standards when purchasing the filter.
Oil filter selection standard:
Filtering accuracy: The filter is required to filter out all 30um particles and meet the requirements of protecting the engine and reducing wear.
Filters can reduce particles that enter lubrication gaps and cause wear
The oil flow rate meets the oil demand of the engine
Long filter replacement cycle, at least longer than the lifespan of the oil
The filter has a large ash capacity and can be suitable for harsh environments
Filter resistance to high temperature and corrosion
The lower the pressure difference when filtering the oil through the filter, the better, allowing the oil to pass smoothly.
At present, most cars use spin on oil filters, which are disposable filters that cannot be disassembled and washed. When changing the oil, the oil filter must be replaced at the same time. Generally, the oil and oil filter need to be replaced every 5000 kilometers.
