Frequently Asked Questions about Engine Oil and Fuel Filters (1)

The function of the oil filter is to filter the sludge in the engine and the impurities produced by the deterioration of the engine oil itself, prevent the oil from deteriorating, and minimize the wear of various components during operation. Under normal circumstances, the engine oil filter replacement cycle is 50 hours after the first operation, and every 250 hours thereafter. Let’s take a look at the common problems and solutions during the use of engine oil and fuel filters.

Frequently Asked Questions about Engine Oil and Fuel Filters

1. Under what special circumstances do you need to replace the oil filter element and fuel filter element?
The fuel filter removes iron oxide, dust and other impurities in the fuel to prevent clogging of the fuel system, reduce mechanical wear and ensure the stable operation of the engine. Under normal circumstances, the replacement cycle of the engine fuel filter is 250 hours after the first operation, and every 500 hours thereafter. The replacement time should be flexibly determined according to the different fuel quality levels. When the filter element pressure gauge alarms or indicates abnormal pressure, it is necessary to check whether there are any abnormalities in the filter. If so, it must be replaced. When there is leakage or cracking and deformation on the surface of the filter element, it is necessary to check whether there are any abnormalities in the filter. If so, it must be replaced.

2. Is the higher the accuracy of the filtration method of the oil filter, the better?
For an engine or equipment, an appropriate filter element filtration accuracy should achieve a balance between filtration efficiency and dust holding capacity. Using a filter element with too high a filtration precision may shorten the service life of the filter element due to its low dust holding capacity, thereby increasing the risk of the oil filter element being clogged prematurely.

3. What is the difference between inferior engine oil and fuel filters and pure engine oil and fuel filters on equipment?
Pure engine oil and fuel filters can effectively protect equipment and extend the service life of the equipment. Inferior engine oil and fuel filters cannot protect the equipment very well, cannot extend the service life of the equipment, and may even worsen the condition of the equipment.
