Is the oil filter just cheap?

Change frequency of oil filter

The function of the filter is to filter out the dust and impurities in air, oil, fuel and coolant to keep these impurities away from the engine, so as to protect the engine system. High quality and high efficiency filters can capture and filter out more impurities than low efficiency and low quality filters. If the ash holding capacity of the two filters is the same, it is obvious that the replacement frequency of high-quality and efficient filters will be higher. Most of the inferior filters sold on the market have a short circuit in the filter element (impurities directly enter the engine system without filtration). The reasons for the short circuit are that the filter paper is perforated, the head and tail of the filter paper are not bonded or not bonded firmly, and the filter paper is not bonded firmly with the end cover. If you use such a filter, you will not need to replace it for a long time, even for life. Because it has no filtering function at all. Therefore, the above view is wrong.

 

Harm of inferior filter

You may or will not see the impact of low efficiency and poor quality filters on the engine immediately. The engine seems to operate normally, but harmful impurities may have entered your engine system and began to cause corrosion, rust and wear of engine parts. These damages are hidden and will break out when the damage accumulates to a certain extent. Therefore, although you can’t see any signs now, it doesn’t mean that the problem doesn’t exist. Like a hidden time bomb. Once a problem is found, it may be too late and you will have to spend a lot of money to repair your engine. Therefore, adhering to the use of high-quality guaranteed filters can maximize the protection of your engine.

 

 

High quality filters can reduce the frequency of replacement

The measure of filter quality is not only the filter life, but also the filter efficiency. High quality filter should have high filtration efficiency and long service life. Therefore, genuine filter manufacturers should fully consider various performance indexes of the filter when designing the filter. Many filters sold on the market are simple copies and imitations of original parts, and most of their performance can not meet the requirements of technical engineering standards and specifications of engine manufacturers. After dissecting, analyzing and testing the miscellaneous filters in the market, the results are shocking: there are serious leakage and short circuit at the joint between the head and tail of the internal filter element or the joint between the filter paper and the end cover. If you buy and use this filter without filtering function, even if it is often replaced, it will not effectively protect your engine.
