Why is it Important to Change the Oil Filter of a Car in Time

Oil plays a key role in keeping the engine clean and lubricated. And it is the oil filter that keeps the oil and the engine clean for a longer period of time by removing the dirt and contaminants that can accumulate over time. Changing the oil filter is one of the crucial pieces of maintenance that you have to do on your car. Through a clogged oil filter, enough amount of clean oil canu2019t pass. Thatu2019s why the oil filter must be kept clean and replaced once it is spotted clogged. An oil filter can trap billons of contaminants. It must be replaced prior to that.

  1. WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO CHANGE THE OIL FILTER OF A CAR IN TIME?

  2. The engine oil lubricates different components of the engine and thus reduces friction among those components.

  3. However, deposition of dirt, broken metallic particles, carbon deposits and other kinds of contaminants adversely affects its ability of lubrication.

  4. The primary job of the oil filter is to keep the engine oil clean by removing deposits and contaminants.

  5. However, a clogged oil filter couldn’t do its job properly as a result of which oil quality degrades frequently.

  6. Degraded oil or highly contaminated oil could damage the engine. So, the condition of the oil filter should be evaluated once in a while.

  7. Clogged or damaged oil filters should be immediately replaced.

  8. IMPORTANCE OF OIL FILTER REPLACEMENT

  9. PREVENTS SLUDGE BUILD UP Highly contaminated oil is solely responsible for the sludge build up inside the engine.

  10. Deposition of an excess amount of contaminants inside the engine in the form of sludge might have disastrous consequences.

  11. Oil filters prevent such kinds of sludge build up inside the engine. However, a clogged or damaged oil filter fails to do so. Replacement of clogged or defective oil filters could help a lot to get rid of sludge.

  12. REMOVES CONTAMINANTS An oil filter removes the contaminants and deposits from the engine oil in order to keep it clean. However, a damaged oil filter fails to do so.

  13. Contaminated engine oil fails to do its job as a result of which friction among the components of the engine increases dramatically.

  14. Higher friction adversely affects the efficiency of an engine. Besides, friction is also responsible for the engine overheating. Replacing the damaged oil filter is the key to keep the engine in working order.

  15. BETTER FUEL ECONOMY Using a clogged oil filter couldn’t keep the engine oil clean as a result of which it negatively affects the fuel economy of a car.

  16. Contaminated lubricant increases friction among different components of the engine as a result of which the engine consumes more fuel to generate the power required to move a car.

  17. So, a sudden rise of fuel consumption rate should not be ignored.

  18. BOTTOM LINE

  19. Oil filters play an important role in the performance of a car and any kind of defects in such an important part of the car could have disastrous consequences.

  20. Oil filters should be replaced after an interval of about 7,500 miles. However, it is highly recommended to inspect the oil filter on a daily basis and replace it after an interval of about 3,000 miles.
