The oil filter is used to remove metal debris and various impurities from the engine oil, in order to prevent them from entering the lubrication system and causing wear on the components. After using the oil filter for a period of time, a lot of oil sludge and metal debris will accumulate on the filter element, causing the filter to block and hindering the normal operation of the lubrication system. At this point, the filter element of the oil filter should be replaced in a timely manner.
Full flow oil filters are widely used in modern cars, which have many advantages such as good filtration effect, low oil flow resistance, and convenient use. The replacement of this filter is relatively simple.
1. Preparation for replacing the filter. Firstly, raise the frame to make it easier to drain the oil. Place the oil pan at the drain plug on the engine oil pan, remove the drain plug, and drain the engine oil.
2. Disassembly and assembly of filter element
When the old oil in the oil pan drain screw hole is completely drained, use a filter wrench to remove the filter element. Pay attention to oil leakage during operation to avoid contaminating the engine and operating environment. Prepare the same filter element, first apply a layer of engine oil to the O-ring of the filter element, and screw the filter element as far as it will go by hand. Do not tighten with a filter wrench to prevent damage to the O-ring and oil leakage.
3. Start the engine and observe the filter for leaks while idling. If leakage is found in the filter, the oil seal rubber ring should be removed and inspected to eliminate the phenomenon of oil leakage.
