The types of oil filter paper commonly used in automobiles are introduced

First, the role of oil filter paper

The oil filter in the automobile is one of the important parts to protect the engine. It can prevent impurities, metal chips and other particles from entering the lubricating oil system, reduce engine wear and aging speed, and extend engine life. Oil filter paper, as the main material of filter element, undertakes the important task of filtering oil.

Two, commonly used oil filter paper types

1. Paper oil filter

Paper oil filter paper is the most common type of filter material and is used in most vehicles. Its base material is cotton paper or wood pulp paper, which is processed by a certain process and has high adsorption and filtration efficiency.

2. Synthetic fiber oil filter paper

Synthetic fiber oil filter paper has better filtering performance than paper filter paper and can better protect the engine. Its material can be polyester fiber, polyamide fiber or other synthetic fiber materials.

3. Metal filter element

The metal filter element is braided by stainless steel wire mesh, which has the advantages of high strength, high temperature performance and long life, and is suitable for use under harsh working conditions.

Third, the filtration principle of oil filter paper

The filter paper in the oil filter will filter out the particles and impurities in the lubricating oil, so that the lubricating oil becomes cleaner, improve the engine efficiency and reduce fuel consumption. The filtration principle of filter paper is to use its capillary action and the attraction and repulsion between fibers to filter particles of different sizes. The higher the filtration accuracy of the filter paper, the better the filtration effect on small particles.

In summary, oil filter paper, as the main material of the filter element, plays an important role in protecting the engine and extending the life of the vehicle. The types of oil filter paper commonly used in automobiles include paper oil filter paper, synthetic fiber oil filter paper and metal filter core. Different kinds of oil filter paper have their own advantages and application scenarios, and need to be selected according to the actual situation.
