What happens if the oil filter base leaks oil?
1 Answers
Oil leakage from the oil filter base gasket can easily cause the mixing of engine oil and coolant, leading to a significant amount of water entering the engine oil and a large amount of engine oil entering the coolant. This can result in the failure of the engine cooling system and lubrication system. The function of the oil filter: The oil filter element is the oil filter, whose purpose is to remove debris, gum, and moisture from the engine oil, delivering clean oil to various lubrication points. To reduce friction resistance between moving parts in the engine and minimize component wear, engine oil is continuously delivered to the friction surfaces of moving parts, forming a lubricating oil film for lubrication.
