Oil has been referred to as the "lifeblood of your engine." Oil is equally as necessary to your engine as lifeblood is to the human body, so it's a good analogy. A very thin layer of oil between the moving components and bearings cushions the mechanical components of your engine. If dirt collects in between the bearings and moving parts, the oil gap will increase, resulting in metal-to-metal contact and pricey engine failure.
Contaminants as tiny as 10-20 microns might become stuck between moving components and bearing surfaces, causing damage to the engine. To put that in perspective, 10-20 microns is nearly 14 times the thickness of human hair! Dirt and other pollutants can infiltrate your engine through the air filter, combustion chamber blowby, and natural engine wear, but your oil filter can only eliminate these particles.
For thousands of kilometers, your oil filter must filter and trap impurities without restricting oil flow. The filter media's structure is unique to the filter maker. However, it is often cellulose or synthetic media, or both. Filters are classified based on their efficiency and capacity.
A 99% efficiency rating implies that for every 100 dirt particles that reach the filter, 99 are eliminated. Before another oil and filter change, the filter capacity must be sufficient to contain the trapped pollutants. We provide high-capacity, high-efficiency oil filters for almost any application.
Both replaceable component cartridge filters and the more popular spin-on filters are available. The stamped metal housing of spin-on filters must be durable enough to support high oil pressure and vibration during operating conditions.
When the engine is turned off, most filters contain an anti-drain back valve that keeps oil from flowing back into the oil pan, guaranteeing that oil is accessible to flow to the engine at starting. When the oil is too cold to pass through the filter element, or if the filter gets blocked due to lack of maintenance, a bypass valve in the filter unlocks to enable oil passage.
The most critical repair and maintenance you can conduct to extend the life of your engine are regular oil and filter replacements. Even quality motor oils degrade with time and usage, losing their capacity to lubricate and safeguard your engine from wear, rust, and sludge.
The oil filter maintains the engine oil clean among changes, but it has a limited defense ability and should be replaced before it hits its dirt holding limitations. Some advice is replacing the filter every other oil change. However, this is a false economy when you compare the danger of expensive engine problems vs. the price of the filter.
