Oil Filters

Oil filters play a vital role in the proper functioning of an engine. Their primary task is to remove contaminants from the engine oil. As the engine runs, oil circulates through various parts, picking up tiny particles such as metal shavings from wear and tear, dirt, and carbon deposits. If these impurities were allowed to remain in the oil, they could cause significant damage to engine components.

A high-quality oil filter is designed with a fine mesh or specialized filtering media that traps these contaminants while allowing clean oil to flow freely back into the engine. This ensures smooth operation of moving parts, reduces friction, and helps maintain optimal engine performance. Regular replacement of oil filters is essential, typically in conjunction with oil changes, to keep the filtering process efficient.
