Every time we do maintenance on the car, we need to remove and replace a cylindrical iron can on the car. This is what we call the Classic Custom Motorcycle Parts Oil Filter, which is replaced together with the car's engine oil. So, how often should the Classic Custom Motorcycle Parts Oil Filter be replaced? What is its maximum lifespan? How often can I change it? Before figuring out this question, let's first get to know the structure and working principle of the Classic Custom Motorcycle Parts Oil Filter.
Today's Classic Custom Motorcycle Parts Oil Filter is basically all this type of spin-on oil filter, with a round iron box outside and folded filter paper wrapped inside. This filter paper is the main raw material of our oil filter. Today's oil filter paper is heat-cured, so it has a certain hardness and strength. It is not like our ordinary paper, which can withstand oil pressure and is not easy to deform.
The Classic Custom Motorcycle Parts Oil Filter is screwed in the middle of the oil circuit, with the oil pan below and the engine above. Its basic function is to filter the debris and dirt in the oil, provide clean lubricating oil for the engine, reduce wear and increase engine life.
The Classic Custom Motorcycle Parts Oil Filter has an oil inlet and an oil outlet. The oil in the oil pan is injected into the filter from the oil inlet check valve. The dirty oil injected is at the edge of the filter, outside the filter paper, and then filtered through the filter paper. The clean oil is discharged from the middle of the filter and sprayed on each part of the engine.
This is a normal process, but there will be some special circumstances. For example, if the filter has been used for a long time, there will be too much debris on the filter paper of the filter, which will block the filter paper holes, which will cause the amount of oil discharged to decrease, and the oil entering the engine will decrease, which will interfere with the lubrication and operation of the engine. What should I do?
In fact, at this time, in order to ensure the amount of motor oil injected into the engine and maintain the oil pressure, there is a spring valve at the bottom of the Classic Custom Motorcycle Parts Oil Filter, called a bypass valve, which will open automatically, allowing the motor oil that has not been filtered to flow in from this bottom valve, and merge with the motor oil in the middle of the oil filter, and inject into the engine together, but at this time, the mixed motor oil is the motor oil containing impurities.
How long can this oil filter be used? In fact, the quality of the oil filter is not a problem, and the filter paper will not be deformed due to oil pressure and soaking in a short time. However, the life of the oil filter is mainly determined by its filtering level, not its own quality.
If there are too many impurities and grease in the motor oil, it will adhere to the filter paper, block the filter hole, and cause the oil pressure to drop, so that the motor oil with impurities will directly enter the engine, which is equivalent to the motor oil not being filtered. In fact, at this time, it is already in the process of changing the oil filter.
Therefore, the replacement of the oil filter depends on the cleanliness of the motor oil. Let's take an example. For example, if you have just replaced the engine oil and filter element of your car, and you have driven 5,000 kilometers, but you have not changed the engine oil during the maintenance process, but only changed the filter. However, the next time you change the filter, it will be less than 5,000 kilometers. Maybe it will need to be changed after 2,000 kilometers or 3,000 kilometers, because the old engine oil contains more debris than the new engine oil.
Therefore, in most cases, the service life of Classic Custom Motorcycle Parts Oil Filter is 5,000 kilometers, which is for new engine oil. However, some of our friends may drive less, maybe only 3,000 kilometers in half a year, but at this time the engine oil expires and it is time to change the engine oil. Generally, we will also change the oil filter together. Therefore, to summarize here, in most cases, the filter is changed every 5,000 kilometers, but if it is not 5,000 kilometers, as long as the engine oil is changed, the Classic Custom Motorcycle Parts Oil Filter is generally replaced together, after all, it is good for the engine.
