Did you use the oil filter incorrectly?

Car owners should be aware that the operation of an engine cannot do without a lubrication system, and the oil used as a lubricant also requires the assistance of an oil filter. All three are indispensable to ensure the normal operation of the vehicle. The machine filter may seem like an insignificant car part, but improper use can also affect the vehicle and even pose a danger to the people inside.

The filter element replacement cycle is long

Many car owners are busy with work or for other reasons and do not maintain their cars regularly at the time stipulated in the car maintenance manual. As is known to all, in some cases, the oil filter will stop working.

The oil filter relies on a single paper filter hole to intercept and filter impurities in the engine oil. However, due to the long-term use of the machine filter, there are already many impurities inside, which will clog the filter holes, so the oil's passing capacity is greatly reduced. In this state, the internal frictional resistance of the engine increases, making it difficult to start.

The filter is improperly installed.

Some people habitually think that the tighter the filter is, the less oil leakage there will be, but this is not the case. As the filter housing is made of thin iron sheets, it will deform and squeeze the filter element when tightened, resulting in poor oil flow. It can also cause the annular gasket to break or deform and leak oil.

The machine filter was selected incorrectly

Nowadays, the cost of car maintenance has increased significantly. Many office workers and car owners want to reduce the cost of car maintenance, and car service providers or repair shops also hope to lower their operating costs, thereby expanding the survival space for counterfeit and shoddy products. The filter materials of this type of product are roughly arranged, and the paint work on the surface of the machine filter is rough.
In addition, the quality of the rubber sealing ring of the machine filter can also be used to judge the quality of the machine filter. Cheap rubber rings are relatively hard in texture and not easy to seal.
