The Importance of The Oil Filter For The Engine

Internal Structure of The Oil Filter

The overall construction of the filter includes the housing, the filter element retaining spring, the filter element, the return valve, and the bypass valve. The function of the filter element retaining spring is to keep the filter element in a vertical and stable working position; the check valve determines the oil pressure when the engine is cold started; the bypass valve improves the effect of oil filtration. Although the filter is small, it has all the necessary organs.

The Difference Between A Good Oil Filter and A Cheap Oil Filter

Appearance Difference

The two different prices of machine filters seem to be a tin can in appearance, but the good machine filter has a smooth surface finish and the cheap machine filter has a rough surface finish. The text printed on the casing of the good filter is very clear, but the printing quality of the cheap filter is very poor, and the text pattern will have a lot of blurred areas. The last thing is that the packaging of a good oil filter is much better than a cheap oil filter.

Although you can't judge a filter by its appearance, you can totally judge the filter according to the appearance of the machine filter. Because this method works well, it will quickly identify the good or bad of the machine filter. In addition, the material of the rubber seal of the machine filter can also determine the good or bad of the machine filter. A good filter rubber seal is soft and flexible, which can better ensure the sealing, while a cheap filter rubber ring is hard, so the hard material is not easy to seal the effect.

Internal Structure Difference

There is a big difference between a good oil filter and a cheap oil filter in terms of internal construction. The first difference is that a good filter has an internal check valve, while a cheap filter does not have a check valve. The check valve of a filter is actually a rubber bowl. Its role is to block the oil backflow, the advantage of this design is to prevent the car from, the oil backflow and reduce the oil pressure in the entire lubrication system, and then the car can reach a reasonable oil pressure as soon as possible after the cold start, to ensure that the engine parts are lubricated in a timely manner.

With a good filter, the filter element will be fixed very firmly, so use your fingers to gently press the filter element, you can feel the firmness of the filter element, so as to determine the degree of good or bad machine filter. In addition, you can also put the filter in your ear and listen to the sound of the internal shaking of the filter, if there are many noisy and interference sounds, it means that the shaken filter is a poor quality product. A good filter has a better material density and better filtration effect. At the same time, a good filter cartridge is larger and has a larger filtering area.

The Working Principle of Machine Filter

The oil filter is an important part of the engine lubrication system, oil pump will suck oil from the oil pan, through the collector filter concentrate filter coarse impurities, then the oil will be sent to the filter through the oil filter element filter fine metal debris and dust. After filtering, the clean oil is sent to the engine parts that need to be lubricated.

Summary

One very important indicator of oil filters is the dirt-holding capacity, which refers to the ability of the oil filter to filter and hold impurities in the oil. It is directly related to the amount of filter paper in the oil filter. Generally, the larger the filter, the more filter paper there is, the greater the dirt-holding capacity, and the longer it can be used.

Although the filter is only a small part, it is vital for the engine. Therefore, the vehicle in the process of routine maintenance and maintenance, for the filter should pay extra attention, otherwise, it is likely to lose a lot because of its small. The poor quality filter can not cleanly filter the oil in the small impurities, these small impurities will accelerate the engine lubrication parts of the wear and tear, and shorten the service life of the engine, so the filter to choose a better product will be better for the engine.
