The
function of oil filters is to prevent contaminants which may be contained
in the lubricating oil from reaching sensitive engine parts without restricting
normal oil flow. The internal source of contamination include wear products
from the rubbing surfaces on engine, blow-by gases leaking from the rings
of pistons and de-gradation of oil itself.The presence of foreign matter
in the piston ring areas can seriously decrease their efficiency resulting
in loss of engine performance. The most important job of oil is to lubricate
the engine's moving parts. Dirty oil wears out these parts much faster. |
