What is the function of an automotive oil filter?
1 Answers
Automotive oil filter is used to: filter the engine oil, improving its cleanliness and lubricity, thereby reducing engine wear and ensuring optimal performance. The automotive oil filter, also known as the oil filter, operates similarly to the circulatory system of the heart—the oil in the oil pump continuously circulates, during which many impurities are generated, requiring the oil filter to remove them. Recommended replacement interval for automotive oil filters: replace every 5,000 to 10,000 kilometers driven. It is advisable to replace the oil filter every time the engine oil is changed because contaminants in the old oil filter can reduce the viscosity and cleanliness of the new oil, affect oil circulation speed, and potentially damage the engine.
