It is necessary to replace the oil filter when changing the engine oil. Here is the relevant content introduction: 1. The oil filter can filter out impurities in the engine oil flowing through the lubrication system. After the engine operates for a period of time, some impurities will be produced. These impurities mainly fall into two categories: one is metal shavings worn off from engine parts during operation, and the other is black sludge-like organic matter produced by chemical changes when the engine oil is in a high-temperature state during engine operation. These impurities will mix with the engine oil and circulate through the lubrication system. 2. The filtering performance of the oil filter will weaken over time until it fails. Road dust and high-temperature-oxidized carbides mix with moisture and enter the engine oil, and these useless substances are filtered by the oil filter.
