What else needs to be replaced when changing the engine oil?

When changing the engine oil, the oil filter also needs to be replaced. Replacing the oil filter: The oil filter is a component that filters the engine oil. Engine oil contains a certain amount of gum, impurities, moisture, and additives. During engine operation, metal shavings generated by friction between parts, impurities from the intake air, and oil oxides are all filtered by the oil filter. If the oil is not filtered and directly enters the oil circuit, it will adversely affect the engine's performance and lifespan. The role of the oil filter: It filters out harmful impurities from the oil in the oil pan, supplying clean oil to moving parts such as the crankshaft, connecting rod, camshaft, turbocharger, and piston rings, providing lubrication, cooling, and cleaning functions, thereby extending the lifespan of these components.
