Vehicle filters may be small components, but they play an essential role in maintaining the overall performance and reliability of your vehicle.
There are four types of filters your vehicle uses namely: Air filter, Oil filter, Fuel filter and the Cabin filter.
Air Filter
The air filter filters out dust, dirt and debris from the air ensuring clean airflow to the engine. This will allow the engine to mix the air and fuel properly for combustion. Why is this important you may ask? This protects the engine from harmful dust and debris, keeping it clean and performing well. When an air filter gets blocked, it may cause high fuel consumption, which can cause damage such as turbo failures.
Oil Filter
Oil filters play a significant role in removing dirt and metal particles from your engine oil. This helps extend engine life by maintaining proper oil flow and pressure while preventing damage caused by dirt, debris, metal particles and other contaminants. Oil filters must be replaced or they can stop working. When a filter is blocked, a bypass valve opens, allowing dirty oil to flow through.
Fuel Filter
Fuel filters play a critical role in ensuring that clean fuel reaches your engine. They continuously remove impurities/contaminants such as dirt, rust and water from the fuel, helping to maintain fuel efficiency and reliable engine performance. This sustains fuel efficiency, which is essential for consistent engine performance. Fuel filters also protect injectors by keeping the fuel system clean.
Cabin Filter
Cabin Filters work in conjunction with the heat, air conditioning and overall ventilation system of a vehicle, to filter the air from the outside going into the inside of a vehicle. This maintains clean and allergy free air circulating inside the vehicle.
(Fun fact: At 120km/h, when you sneeze you lose 50m of distance by closing your eyes during the sneeze).
All these filters play an important role in maintaining your vehicle’s performance, efficiency and longevity. Regularly replacing your filters helps keep your engine protected and your vehicle running at its best.
