Oil filters

Oil filters and spare parts

The oil filter is needed to eliminate pollution of motor, transmission and lubricating oils, hydraulic fluids (for automatic transmission for GUR, etc.). Previously placed 2 - Coarse (full flow) and small (the bypass) purifications. In the sixties were widely full flow first with a replaceable filter element, and the gross and completely disposable. Each filter has a bypass valve, necessary for the purpose of the crude oil to pass past the line filter. The bottom line is that in the case of heavy contamination of the filter element, or in the winter, while increasing the viscosity of the oil, greatly increases the flow resistance and the engine oil hunger, which can lead to its failure.

varieties oil filters

• Magnetic
• centrifugal
• Gravity (sumps)
• Mechanical

nowadays, new disposable full-flow filters put protivodrenazhny valve that prevents stoku oil into the pan when the engine is in the idle state. If a valve fails, then after starting the engine control lamp that signals a low pressure in the line will be longer than usual to burn.
