Product Information

There are important things to consider if you will try to remove the oil filter housing. But we need to state that you need to have a basic knowledge of car mechanics. If you do not trust yourself about this issue, it is a good idea to bring your car to a mechanic. In combined engine lubrication systems both the fullflow and bypass filters are used. Filters can also have a one piece or assembled housing. the assembled ones are cheaper in maintenance: you can replace only the filter element in them. How to choose a high quality oil filter Also, it is very important to know the general elements of an oil filter housing system. And you will understand how to do these systems work.

How do I replace my oil filter?

Gaskets: Gaskets are the most common parts of the oil and the cooling system of the car. Without gaskets, there will be lots of leakages from the different systems. So, there are different O-rings and gaskets on the oil filter housing systems on the cars. First of all, you need to drain the oil from the oil drain plug. You can remove the plug by using a wrench. Before doing it, you need to place the oil drain pan beneath the car. Many manufacturers recommend getting a new oil filter every time you change your oil. This can be anywhere from 3,000 to over 15,000 miles. That is a lot of mileage, so it makes sense to get the best oil filter possible. This is especially true when using a synthetic oil, as they contain additives and detergents which don’t allow dirt particles to settle in the engine. This means they don’t have to be changed as much but the filter has to work a lot harder. Getting a high-quality filter is going to limit the chance of these floating particles causing damage to the engine parts. Dirt and grit can enter the engine in a variety of ways and if even small particles of hard substances get into the oil stream then they can rub up and down against vital pieces of machinery (primarily the pistons and cylinders) and can wear them out much faster. In the worst-case scenario one of these pieces of dirt or stone might be big enough to get lodged in part of your engine and stop a piston from moving or a valve from closing. This would have serious consequences for the overall performance of your engine and could lead to very costly repairs. The oil filter makes sure this doesn’t happen. These are the prices of them itself. But the labor cost of changing can be high. Because there are different parts attached to the housing. And it requires some level of expertise to deal with.

It’s a dirty job keeping engine oil clean, but someone has to do it. Your car’s oil filter collects dirt, grime and debris that can build up in your engine oil, stopping it from clogging up the crucial moving parts in your engine. A new engine oil filter should form part of any major or minor service, and should always be replaced if you’re dropping the oil. They’re affordable, easy to fix and simple to buy with Halfords. What oil filter do I need? Oil filters don’t last forever though. Over time, dust and dirt build up in the oil filter and it begins to get clogged up. It stops working as effectively as it did before and it is time to replace it. How long depends, as we’ll discuss below, on the quality or type of oil and filter and the driving conditions. But why do I need a good oil filter for my car? Material: There are also different materials available. In general, housings are made from stainless steel and aluminum. Both materials have provided very good structural strength required for the different parks. Oil temperature sensor: Also this housing system has an oil temperature sensor that measures the temperature of the oil and sends this information to the ECU system of the car. A top-notch filter is also going to protect against oil oxidation. Regardless of the situation or conditions, oil reacts with oxygen in a process called oxidation. This permanent chemical reaction increases the viscosity of the oil and it becomes less effective, as well as causing a build-up of sludge. An oil filter prevents the physical by-products of this from making their way inside the engine and stops it getting damaged.As we explained above, there are different parts in the oil system of your car. And These systems must reside in a secure place which the oil filter housing provides. So, nearly all modern cars have oil filter housing systems that provide different kinds of applications. What are the Elements of Oil Filter Housing? Cap: The oil filter housing system has a cap that prevents oil leaks that can take place. To prevent it, there is a cap that you can attach or detach the control the other parts inside the housing. Unfiltered oil can cause harmful particles to linger in your engine, leading to lasting and costly damage. Oil filters contain pistons that prevent contamination of dirt and debris, extending the life of your engine.

The key parts of an oil filter are the filter element, the anti-drain valve, and the gasket or seal. The materials that these are made from can directly impact the effectiveness of the oil filter.If there is visible damage to the oil filter, you should also evaluate your vehicle’s lubrication system and overall performance. To replace your filter, drain the oil from the crankcase. Remove the undercover filter cap. Then, extract the old oil filter and insert the new one (most will screw in). You will then need to replace the seal and cap. Oil filter: As you understand from its name, oil filters are one of the most crucial parts of the oil system. They filter the engine oil to prevent the particles from the engine parts. The oil filter resides beneath the oil filter housing. As well as the damage caused by unfiltered oil described above, using the wrong filter can cause oil leaks and a poorly fitting filter can just fall off – definitely something that isn’t going to be good for your car when you’re hurtling down the motorway late for an important meeting. Compatibility: The compatibility of them is very important with your car. In general, different brands have different housings and these applications are not universal. So, while you are looking for one of these applications, it is a very good idea to look for a system that fits your car.

The oil filter housing is a system to which you can attach the different elements of the oil system o your car. And they generally have sections that you can attach the general elements that we stated above. The engine is always operating at high temperatures and preventing it from overheating is also one of the many jobs of the oil filter. A build-up of dirt and impurities in the oil can reduce the heat conductivity, meaning that the oil takes less heat away from the engine’s moving parts. This will result in the engine overheating, just as when low-quality oil is used.These are the general things that we can state about the oil filter housing applications. They may seem very basic car components but they are very important systems in general. To put it simply, the oil filter removes dirt, sedimentation, or other impurities from the engine oil as it is circulating around your engine. It plays an absolutely crucial role in ensuring that your engine runs smoothly. It is a small canister, which contains a filtration system, which is connected to the engine, and the oil filter location is usually the same in all cars. When the oil has circulated around all the moving parts of the engine it is then pumped through the filter, which removes the impurities and contaminants. Bypass. It provides more refined oil filtration. The engine lubrication system in this case consists of two circuits. In one circuit dirty oil freely circulates among the engine components, in the other circuit a little amount of oil is recurrently filtrated. Eventualy the filter cleans all the oil circulating in the system. More time is needed to clean the oil of impurities. Using a bypass filter helps to keep the pressure in the system on a certain level even if the filter is clogged or the bypass valve has failed.
