How to choose Oil Filters
In daily maintenance items, replacing the oil filter is an essential maintenance item. But we must not underestimate the humble component of the oil filter, which plays a vital role in the life of the car engine.
The main function of the oil filter is to filter out harmful impurities in the oil, and supply clean oil to the crankshaft, connecting rod, camshaft, supercharger, piston ring, etc, play the role of lubrication, cooling, cleaning, thereby extending the life of these parts, it is one of our most commonly used auto consumables.
If you buy the low-quality oil filter, the engine parts will be worn seriously, and the oil supply will be severely blocked, resulting in the scrapping of the engine and heavy losses.
4 points to choose the Oil Filters:
Housing
The housing of the high-quality oil filter is made of high-strength steel sheet, the material is strong, has high pressure resistance, is not easy to deform, and not easy to leak oil. The housing is anti-rust and anti-corrosion and the installation instructions are printed on the body.
Filter Media
The filter paper is the basis of the oil filter. The good filter paper has uniform and dense folds, high filtration efficiency, and large dust holding capacity. It can efficiently filter small impurities in the oil.
Internal valve
BY-Pass valve:Ensure oil supply under any circumstances, such as high oil viscosity during cold start, or serious clogging of the filter element beyond the replacement period
Anti-drain valve:When the engine is turned off, the oil in the lubrication system can be prevented from being emptied, and the oil can be quickly supplied when the engine is restarted.
Gasket/Sealing
The material is thick, high toughness, high temperature and high pressure resistance, not easy to aging, ensuring excellent installation and sealing.
If the oil filter has high-quality processing technology, high-performance sealing materials, high-strength housing materials, large filtration area and high filter accuracy; it can extend the service life of the engine and reduce maintenance costs.
In order to keep the engine in good working condition, it is recommended to select a high-quality oil filter and replace it regularly.
