How often do you change the oil filter? Introduction of oil filter

Oil filters are used to remove dust from oil and protect the engine, but how often do you change the oil filters? Xiaobian will introduce you to the oil filter. Let's have a look!

Oil Filter Introduction: Introduction

Oil filter, also known as oil grid. Used to remove dust, metal particles, carbon deposits, soot particles and other impurities in engine oil, and protect the engine.

Oil filters can be divided into full-flow type and split-flow type. The full-flow filter is connected in series between the oil pump and the main oil passage, so it can filter all the lubricating oil entering the main oil passage. The shunt cleaner is connected in parallel with the main oil passage, and only filters part of the lubricating oil sent by the oil pump.

Oil filter introduction: replacement

Under normal circumstances, all parts in the engine are lubricated by the engine oil to achieve normal work, but the metal scraps, dust, oxidized carbon deposits at high temperature and some water vapor produced by the parts during operation will be continuously mixed into the engine oil, and the service life of the engine oil will be reduced after a long time, which may affect the normal operation of the engine in severe cases.

Therefore, at this time, the function of oil filter is reflected. Simply put, the function of oil filter is to filter most impurities in oil, keep the standby oil clean and prolong its normal service life. In addition, the oil filter should also have strong filtering ability, low flow resistance and long service life.

Suggested replacement cycle: cars and commercial vehicles are replaced once every six months.

The above is the introduction of Xiaobian. When using the oil filter, we must pay more attention to maintenance and change it regularly, so that the oil filter can play its real role. I hope the introduction of Xiaobian can help everyone.
