Maintaining a car is not just about changing the engine oil!

When maintaining a car, it's not just about changing the oil. If you only change the engine oil without paying attention to these five points, it might be a waste of maintenance.

Oil filter element

The oil filter, also known as the oil filter, is mainly used to filter impurities from the engine oil. When using the engine oil, it ensures that all components are free of impurities and protects the normal operation of all parts and the engine. It is also very important to change the machine filter. If only the engine oil is changed but not the machine filter, it is basically equivalent to not changing the engine oil at all. Impurities still exist in the engine. When changing the engine oil, all machine filters should be replaced to ensure a clean operating environment for the engine and improve its lifespan.

Air filters and air conditioning filters

Air filters, abbreviated as air filters, are mainly used to ensure that the air inhaled during engine operation is free of impurities. If the inhaled air is dirty and unfiltered, impurities entering the engine will accelerate the wear of the piston assembly and cylinders. If larger particles are input between the piston and the cylinder, this may also lead to a severe "cylinder tension" phenomenon. Therefore, timely replacement of the new air filter to ensure the intake quality can improve the engine's lifespan.

Fuel filter

The main function of a fuel filter is to provide clean fuel for the engine, filter out water and impurities in gasoline to ensure the quality of gasoline entering the engine, optimize combustion efficiency and performance, and provide protection for the engine, indirectly improving the engine's lifespan. Here, it is recommended that all car enthusiasts replace the gasoline filter and air conditioning filter once a year.
