Are Car Oil Filters Universal?
1 Answers
Car oil filters are not universal. The function of a car oil filter is to remove impurities, colloids, and moisture from the oil, delivering clean oil to lubrication points. Engine oil itself has high viscosity and contains a significant amount of impurities. To improve filtration efficiency, oil filters are designed with three stages. The types of oil filters are: 1. Oil suction filter: Installed in the oil pan before the oil pump, using a metal mesh type; 2. Oil coarse filter: Installed after the oil pump, connected in series with the main oil passage, mainly including metal scraper type, sawdust filter core type, and microporous filter paper type; 3. Oil fine filter: Installed after the oil pump and connected in parallel with the main oil passage.
