How to maintain the vehicle air filter?

Vehicle air filter, as a filter engine protection device, can effectively prevent harmful particles into the engine, so as to ensure the normal operation of the engine and extend the life of other components.

Engine air, oil, gas filters are often called “three filters.” The “triple filter” filters the air, oil and gasoline on the car’s engine to protect the engine and at the same time ensure engine efficiency. Three filter good working condition can effectively reduce fuel consumption.

The use of the shortest number of oil filter, usually 5000 to 10000km replacement. The role of engine oil We all know, to ensure that the oil clean, engine oil lubrication system installed in the oil filter. The role of the oil filter is generated during the combustion engine and mixed with oil in the metal debris, carbon particles and oil gradually generated impurities such as filter out the gum. These impurities not only accelerate the wear and tear of moving parts, but also easily lead to blockage of lubricating oil. At present, most car engines use a spin-on oil filter, this filter is not removable disposable filter, when changing the oil must be replaced at the same time the oil filter, otherwise it will affect the lubricating oil quality. This spin-on oil filter is characterized by good sealing, easy disassembly. However, when installing a new oil filter there are also matters needing attention. In the installation of new oil filter before the rubber gasket coated with a layer of oil mold, the purpose is to improve the sealing and prevent damage to the seal in the installation; the other point is to add oil in the oil filter to enable the engine to recover as soon as possible lubricating.

The air filter has a relatively long life and is usually made of paper material. The air cleaner filters out airborne dust, carbon and other debris before the air is mixed with the fuel, thus ensuring clean air intake. And then tiny particles into the engine cylinder can also have serious consequences, the most direct result is the cylinder wall wear and tear, blowing and burning oil occurs, which is often said that the early wear and tear of the engine. Timely clean air filter is also beneficial to reduce the intake resistance and improve engine efficiency. Normally, the manufacturer recommends 48,000 km replacement intervals for normal maintenance of air filters and a routine inspection every 24,000 km. Every time we change the filter can be used high-pressure air cleaning air filter, to improve the filter cleanliness and service life. In areas with a high dust concentration, the air filter should be tested and replaced more frequently.

Air filter requirements are: filter paper pore density distribution, to ensure optimal filtration efficiency and minimum flow resistance; special paper impregnation and flute so that all the filter paper surface area can absorb dirt evenly until the life Can still work effectively before it is finished. The optimized wrinkle shape accommodates the largest effective paper area in the smallest space, increases the area of ​​dirt absorption, and prolongs the service life of the filter.

Three filter replacement is the most complex gasoline filter. Gasoline is inevitably mixed with some impurities and moisture in the process of production, storage, transportation and filling. As the fuel is introduced into the fuel supply system and into the engine cylinder, it can lead to accelerated wear of the cylinder, blockage of the oil passage, damage to the fuel injector, etc. phenomenon. At present, most of the engine is a one-time non-removable removable paper-type filter cartridge filter, the filter has arrows out of the port mark, do not replace the anti-installed. If the filter installed in the fuel pipeline, it is called the external filter; the other hand, the internal filter is installed in the fuel pump and fuel tank inside the filter, like Guangzhou Honda fit, change the filter The cost of the device is also higher. The filter replacement is usually based on the owner’s manual.

The life of a car depends very much on its heart – the life of the engine, overload, high speed driving, poor driving habits for starting and stopping, and so on, can all lead to a reduction in engine performance and life. However, the most damaging to the performance and life of the engine should be uncleanness inside the engine. Filters are the only way to prevent harmful particles from entering the engine.
