Passenger Car Oil Filter Engine Oil Filter Synthetic Fiber High
Efficiency Filtration
The engine oil filter in a passenger car is a core filtering
component that ensures the normal operation of the engine. Its core
function is to filter impurities, metal debris, carbon deposits,
and other pollutants from the oil, preventing wear of precision
components within the engine (such as pistons, crankshafts, and
bearings), while maintaining the lubrication, cooling, and sealing
properties of the oil. Its main features can be expanded from the
dimensions of filtering performance, structural design,
adaptability, and durability, as follows:
1. Core function: high-precision filtration, engine protection
Filtration accuracy adapted to engine requirements:
Filtration accuracy is typically measured in microns (μm).
Mainstream passenger car oil filters typically have a filtration
accuracy of 10-30μm (some high-end filters can reach 5-10μm).
It effectively traps impurities in the oil, such as metal debris
(such as iron and aluminum shavings) generated by engine wear,
carbon particles from combustion, and airborne dust. If these
impurities are not filtered out, they can scratch cylinder walls
and wear bearings as the oil circulates, leading to reduced engine
sealing, increased fuel consumption, and even cylinder scuffing.
It also preserves beneficial additives in the oil (such as
anti-wear agents and antioxidants), preventing over-filtration from
degrading oil performance.
2. Structural design: Adapting to engine layout, taking into
account both sealing and easy maintenance
Highly sealed structure prevents oil leaks:
The interface between the filter element and the engine is
typically equipped with an oil-resistant rubber seal/gasket (mostly
made of nitrile rubber or fluororubber). This seal is resistant to
high temperatures (can withstand oil temperatures of 120-180°C) and
oil corrosion, effectively preventing oil leakage from the
interface during pressure circulation and ensuring full oil
filtration.
3. Material characteristics: heat and oil resistant, ensuring
long-term reliability
Housing: Pressure-Resistant and Rust-Resistant Metal/High-Strength
Plastic:
Traditional filter housings are mostly made of cold-rolled steel
(galvanized or spray-coated). They offer strong pressure resistance
(capable of withstanding 8-15 bar oil pressure, preventing breakage
under high pressure) and are rust- and corrosion-resistant.
Some lightweight models utilize high-strength engineering plastic
housings (such as PA66 + fiberglass), which are lighter (in line
with overall vehicle lightweighting trends) while maintaining
comparable pressure and temperature resistance.
