What are the four filters in a car?
1 Answers
The 'four filters' in a car refer to the air filter, oil filter, fuel filter, and cabin air filter. Below are the details: Air Filter: Most car engines use a dry-type air filter with a paper filter element, which is lightweight, low-cost, easy to replace, and highly efficient. It is generally recommended to clean the filter every 5,000 kilometers. When cleaning, remove the filter element and gently tap the end surface. Use compressed air to blow from the inside out to remove dust. Avoid washing with gasoline or water. Oil Filter: Most car engines use a spin-on oil filter, which is a disposable, non-cleanable filter. When changing the engine oil, the oil filter must also be replaced; otherwise, it may affect the quality of the lubricating oil. The replacement interval for both the oil and oil filter is typically 5,000 kilometers. Fuel Filter: Most engines are equipped with a disposable, non-cleanable paper fuel filter, with a replacement interval of about 10,000 kilometers. The filter has inlet and outlet arrows marked on it; ensure it is not installed backward during replacement. Cabin Air Filter: The cabin air filter in a car is designed to filter the air entering the cabin from outside, improving air cleanliness. It typically filters impurities such as tiny particles, pollen, bacteria, industrial exhaust, and dust, preventing them from entering and damaging the air conditioning system. It also protects the health of passengers and prevents window fogging.
