What are the three filters?
2 Answers
Three filters refer to the oil filter, air filter, and fuel filter. Main functions of the fuel filter: It filters out impurities in the gasoline. If the fuel filter is too dirty or clogged, the main symptoms are: slow power response when accelerating, failure to start, or difficulty in starting the car. Functions of the air filter: It is mainly used in pneumatic machinery, internal combustion engines, and other fields, providing clean air to these mechanical devices to prevent them from inhaling air with impurity particles during operation, thereby reducing the likelihood of wear and damage. Functions of the oil filter: It is used to remove impurities such as dust, metal particles, carbon deposits, and soot particles from the oil, protecting the engine. The oil filter should have strong filtering capability, low flow resistance, and long service life.
I've been running an auto repair shop for many years and often help car owners check the three filters. The three filters refer to the air filter, oil filter, and fuel filter. The air filter is responsible for filtering out dust and impurities from the air to protect the engine from contamination. If it gets clogged, the car will struggle to breathe and experience poor acceleration. The oil filter removes metal particles and dirt from the engine oil to prevent internal engine wear. It should be replaced during oil changes; otherwise, a dirty oil system can lead to expensive repairs. The fuel filter cleans impurities from the gasoline. If blocked, it can cause fuel flow issues, leading to stalling or difficulty starting the car. Generally, it's recommended to check the air filter every 10,000 kilometers, replace the oil filter every six months when changing the oil, and inspect the fuel filter every 20,000 kilometers. DIY air filter replacement is super easy and can save a lot of money.
