Oil filtres are used to protect the engine and transmission from contaminated oils and particulate matter resulting from the wear of the motor when in operation. The purpose of oil filters is to prevent the wear of the engines, mechanical and hydraulic systems and to protect the sensitive motor components against the negative impact of the ingression of metal particles as the result of soot and carbon dirt formation and wear. Oil filters can be of two types:
Full flow spin on filters, bypass filters and dual component joint filters (full flow + bypass filters) also have certain differences. Full flow filters: These filters are installed in the oil circulation system so that the whole of the oil flow was passing through the filter. This prevents the ingress of particulate matter into the lubricated section of the device and any resulting damage.
Oil filters must be replaced with each change of the oil in the system. Changing both the filters and the oil keeps the wear rate of the engine at 1%. If the oil is changed without the replacement of the filter, the wear rate of the engine’s cylinders increases by 6,5 times
