You are no stranger to the three filters of a car, but you need to know about their maintenance!

In the auto repair industry, there are three powerful brothers with imposing names. Novices may not recognize them, but experienced players have heard of them a lot. They are known as the "three filters" of a car: the gasoline filter, the oil filter, and the air filter. The "three filters" play a filtering role in the car's engine for air, oil, and gasoline, thereby protecting the engine. Therefore, their maintenance cannot be ignored.
The big brother that protects your car's fuel: the gasoline filter, which was born to filter gasoline and remove impurities from it. When a car is in motion, during the storage, transportation and refueling of gasoline, some impurities and water may mix into the filter. Over time, excessive accumulation of impurities or dust can cause the car to be difficult to start, accelerate slowly when stepping on the accelerator, and may even fail to start. It is generally recommended that car owners consider replacing the vehicle after driving 30,000 kilometers (which may vary depending on the model and accessories), or follow the standard replacement cycle provided by the manufacturer.

The two brothers that protect your car's clean engine oil: the oil filter, also known as the oil filter, can effectively protect the internal combustion engine, remove mechanical impurities such as dust and metal grinding from the engine oil, prevent them from entering and contaminating the oil, and effectively prevent the wear of parts and oil circuit blockage. However, if impurities enter the oil filter, it is very likely to accelerate the wear of parts and cause oil circuit blockage. Although replacing the oil filter is a very common part of car maintenance, it is best to check whether the oil filter needs to be replaced each time we change the engine oil. Under normal circumstances, the replacement cycle of the oil filter is about 5,000 kilometers.

The three brothers that extend the lifespan of a car: the air filter. Its function is to prevent air from entering parts such as the cylinder, piston, and piston ring from being worn. Data shows that if an air filter is not installed, the wear of the cylinder will increase by seven times, the wear of the piston will increase by three times, and the wear of the piston ring will increase by eight times. Therefore, its existence is also affecting the lifespan of the car. The cleaning cycle of the air filter is generally 5,000 to 8,000 kilometers, and the replacement cycle is determined by the vehicle model and the usual driving conditions.

Of course, when you go to an auto repair shop for maintenance, let a professional technician check for you whether these "three brothers" are "sick" or clogged. This way, you can be completely safe!
