OIL FILTER AS A CONSUMABLE MAINTENANCE PART

                  

                   PURPOSE OF CONSUMABLE MAINTENANCE PARTS: OIL FILTER

OIL FILTER: Oil filter as important consumable maintenance part for automotive engine that needs periodic replacement.
All automotive engine lubricating systems have an oil filter. Some or all of the oil from the oil pump circulates through the oil filter.
In the oil filter, an element of filtering material traps particles of foreign matters, therefore keeping the oil clean and to prevent impurities from entering the engine.

There are two major oil filter components to determine a genuine oil filter:

* The Element: The element is a paper filter inside. This must be a quality filtering material with capability to remove particles of matters in the oil.

* Drain Back Valve: this must be high efficient valve to prevent oil pumped through the oil filter from draining back to the oil pan, protecting engine against oil starvation within 24hours after the the engine is shutdown. Compare to substandard that allow the engine oil to drain back within 2-3hours after the engine is shut down.

Using genuine oil filter gives your engine efficient lubrication, long life engine performance and protection. Subscribing to substandard oil filter can cause oil leaks and, noise from engine when starting and in worst scenario deterioration of the engine.
Warning: Never manage to drive your vehicle with "oil warning light" displaying or blinking on your instrument cluster.
