Can the Oil Filter Be Reused?
1 Answers
The oil filter cannot be reused. The oil filter used in cars is designed to filter impurities from the engine oil. Every time you change the engine oil, you must also replace the oil filter. Reusing the oil filter can contaminate the newly replaced oil, which may cause certain levels of damage to the engine. It's important to note that oil filters are generally made of paper material. During use, if the filter becomes clogged, its resistance will increase, leading to poor lubrication flow, which can affect the engine's normal operation. The oil filter has a replacement cycle, but this also depends on the quality of the engine oil being used.
