1 Answers
Mercedes-Benz CLA200's oil filter is located on the right side near the front windshield. Oil filter: The oil filter is the oil filter element. Function of the oil filter: It filters out impurities, gums, 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, oil is continuously supplied to the friction surfaces of moving parts, forming a lubricating oil film for lubrication. Engine oil inherently contains a certain amount of gums, impurities, moisture, and additives. During engine operation, the introduction of metal particles, airborne contaminants, and the generation of oil oxidation products gradually increase the impurities in the oil. If the oil is not filtered before entering the lubrication circuit, it can carry these impurities into the friction surfaces of moving parts, accelerating component wear and reducing the engine's lifespan.
