Engine Oil Filter: -No more messing about the oil filter

It is very important to know something about the oil filter because it is a small thing,, but it affects the performance of the bike a lot.

So we know how engine oil protects our bike engine. For example-

  1. Lubricate all parts of the engine,
  2. Keeping the engine cool,
  3. To prevent piston ring corrosion,
  4. Retention of broken metal particles in the engine
  5. Friction reduction, etc.

The oil filter directly helps the engine oil perform these tasks.

The oil filter in the engine works just like the waiters in the restaurant; they supply food to every table in the restaurant, and the oil filter supplies oil to every part of the engine.

What is an oil filter? An oil filter is a type of filter that continuously filters engine oil.

FILTERING PROCESS:

An oil filter is similar to a can. It has filtering elements inside. They are made of synthetic fibers. Engine oil enters the filter directly from the engine block. Where the engine oil from the cubic hole in the base plate goes directly to the filter through the pump, the oil is pressurized through the filter media and re-enters the engine.

Oil filters can be of many types

Types of filters:

There are many types of oil filters. For example-

1.Mechanical

2. Cartridge and spin-on

3.Magnetic

4.Sedimentation

5.Centrifugal

6. High efficiency (HE)

Bikes such as Gixxer Fzs, RTR, R15 etc. have mechanical oil filters that need to be changed after a few days.

Again, the Pulsar (DTS I) has a magnetic filter, which is usually next to the clutch plate and doesn’t need to be changed. Again, it should be reasonable enough.

Also, Hunk, Trigger, CBZ, CBR etc bikes have an oil strainer instead of a filter, which should be cleaned every 10 thousand.

Filter’s function:

A good filter retains the quality of the oil, and the small metal parts mixed with the oil are absorbed by the filter. Otherwise, the oil will spoil quickly

Second, organic fungi and bacteria inhibit the growth of these engines, causing severe damage.

Thirdly, various metallic particles are absorbed by the cylinder and engine bearings and sent back to the good oil bearings.

And absorbs the mud and sludge created by the engine.

A broken filter is enough to spoil the performance of a bike’s engine oil.

Conclusion

So all the bikes whose oil filter is changeable should be changed regularly. 3000 km in the case of Mineral. And in the case of synthetics, a filter should not be used for more than 5000 km; it will improve the performance of the engine oil, and the consistency of the performance of each oil will be maintained.
