What are the advantages of oil filter?

Oil filter the advantages and disadvantages of identification methods:

1.the appearance: the appearance of fine, rough leave of the oil filter on the surface of the shell is relatively rough, the font is usually blurred. And the real oil filter surface of the factory logo font is very clear, and the surface paint texture is very good. Careful friends are relatively easy to see the difference by contrast.

2.filter paper: the filter capacity of the fake oil filter filter impurity capacity is relatively poor, which is mainly reflected in the filter paper, filter paper will affect the normal flow of oil; and loose filter paper will lead to a large number of impurities have not been filtered Continued random oil flow, a long time will lead to internal parts of the engine dry friction or excessive wear and tear.

3.bypass valve: auxiliary role of the bypass valve is the role of the filter because of excessive impurities caused by clogging when used to emergency transmission of oil equipment. However, most of the fake oil filter built-in bypass valve role is not obvious, so when the filter paper failure, the oil can not be timely delivery, will lead to the internal parts of the engine dry friction.

4.gasket: seal, oil leakage of the gasket Although it looks a little inconspicuous, but the seal between the parts to rely on it. False oil filter in the gasket material is relatively poor, in the engine high temperature, high strength work is likely to cause its sealing failure, eventually leading to oil leakage.

Filter life.

The most obvious advantage of an extended life oil filter is its long life. The filter will provide maximum filtration for an extended duration. For example, Premium Guard extended life filters are designed to last up to 10,000 miles. This works perfectly with late-model vehicles, which have extended oil change intervals. Vehicles running synthetic motor oil will also benefit from a Premium Guard extended life filter.

Heavy Duty Construction.

Since they’re designed to last longer, extended life oil filters are built tougher. Traditional oil filters are made from cellulose. By comparison, Premium Guard extended life oil filters are made from a synthetic resin media, providing 98% efficiency. They’re built to withstand high flow and high pressure, exceeding the capacity of some OEM filters by 10%. Step up to the Premhium Guard EX series of extended life filters, and you get a silicone gasket and silicon anti-drain back valve. Both of these design elements are built to withstand extreme temperatures for longer life.

Money savings.

In the long run, extended life filters can save you money. Regular oil filters should not be used on vehicles that go a long time between oil changes. Many traditional car oil filters are designed for only 5,000 miles of use. So, to protect your vehicle, you need to change the oil filter between services, or you have to change your oil more frequently. Both of these alternatives cost more money than simply purchasing an extended life oil filter.

Timing savings.

Whether you do it yourself or have it done at a shop, changing oil takes time. Using synthetic oil and an extended life oil filter allows you to go longer between oil changes. This means less time spent crawling under your car, changing oil, and getting dirty. Or, less time is spent at the repair shop, reading old magazines, and drinking stale coffee.
