Is a machine filter the same as an oil filter?


The machine filter and the oil filter are the same.
Below is a partial introduction to the oil filter:
1. Function: used to remove dust, metal particles, carbon deposits, and soot particles in the oil and other impurities, protecting the engine.
2. The oil filter can be divided into full flow and bypass: the full flow filter is connected in series between the oil pump and the main oil channel, so it can filter all the lubricating oil in the main oil channel; the bypass filter is connected in parallel with the main oil channel to filter only part of the lubricating oil sent by the oil pump.
3. The overall lubrication system will be installed with several filters of different filtration capacities: a filter, a feed filter, and a fine filter, respectively, in parallel or in series in the main oil channel.

The filter function is described in detail.

First of all, it is important to know that when the engine is running, it is in a high-temperature environment, so oxidizing substances, water, metal wear, dust, and so on will constantly enter the oil through operation. The oil filter plays the role of filtering these impurities to keep the lubricating oil clean, thus extending the oil's service life. Therefore, the performance of the oil filter must meet the characteristics of high filtration efficiency, high flow resistance, long service life, etc.


How often should the air filter be changed?

A car travels 5000 kilometers, the air filter can be replaced after 15,000 kilometers or about 1 year. The replacement of the air filter is part of the maintenance for every car, and it is advisable to replace it to ensure that driving the car is safer and more reliable.


When selecting a filter (filter element), you can choose original parts.

The selected air filter element must match the power, fuel efficiency, and reliability of the original engine.


Selection methods

During the warranty period of a new car, it is not advisable to use a filter (filter element) as a replacement.


Principle of operation

The fuel filter is connected in series to the line between the fuel pump and the throttle intake. The function of the fuel filter is to filter out iron oxide contained in the fuel. The design of the fuel filter consists of an aluminum casing and a stainless steel bracket.


Fuel filter

Its function is to filter harmful particles and water in the engine's fuel gas system, in order to protect the nozzle of the oil pump, the tank body, the piston ring, etc., reduce wear, and prevent clogging. Filter out the iron oxide contained in the fuel.
