What is an Oil Filter?
2 Answers
The oil filter in a car includes the fuel filter and the engine oil filter. Related introduction: 1. Brief introduction: The oil filter is actually the engine oil filter, installed in the machine's lubrication circuit to prevent foreign objects from entering the machine. There are many specifications and types of oil filters, and the installation methods are also diverse. 2. Expansion: The oil filter is used to filter engine oil. After being used for a period of time, it will accumulate many impurities (engine wear debris). When these impurities accumulate more and more, the lubrication effect of the engine will deteriorate, so it needs to be replaced.
As a seasoned driver, the oil dipstick is that little tool in the car used to check the oil level, also known as the oil gauge. It's usually inserted next to the engine. Before driving or after parking, I always pull it out, wipe it clean, reinsert it, and check the oil level. Too high or too low can cause engine problems. I remember one time I was lazy and didn't check, and the oil was a bit low—the engine sounded strange when driving. Luckily, I added oil in time. So, checking the dipstick regularly is quite important; don't wait until the car breaks down on the road to regret it. Generally, check it every few thousand kilometers, and change the oil for maintenance to extend the car's lifespan. New drivers shouldn’t overlook this—a simple action can save a lot of money. Make it a habit, and your car will be more reliable.
