Avoid air filter mistakes

With the increasing environmental pollution in the country, the content of respirable suspended particles in the air is getting higher and higher. If these suspended particles enter the cylinder of a car engine, a large amount of colloidal substances and tiny abrasive particles will affect the car's engine. The degree of combustion is sufficient to enter the cylinders and pistons in the engine, causing wear of the relevant parts of the piston, resulting in degraded engine performance. The role of the car air filter is to form a filter barrier between the air into the cylinder, which will completely block the suspended particles outside the cylinder, and ensure sufficient air intake, so that the power of the car engine will not be wasted .

However, many private car owners are not paying enough attention to the maintenance of air filters. When using car air filters, some inaccurate mistakes appear. The following Xiaobian will interpret the misunderstanding of using car air filters for everyone.

Myth #1: Don't pay attention to quality when buying air filters. Although many owners nowadays choose 4s stores when replacing air filters, with the deep understanding of vehicle construction, it is very simple to replace car filters. , but whether it is in the 4s shop replacement or replacement, will involve the purchase of a new air filter problem. However, many car owners do not understand the role of air filters correctly. They often choose air cleaners that are cheap and have poor quality. The air filters of these poor quality air filters are generally good, especially for small suspensions. Granules have poor filtration capacity and poor physical stability, and long-term use will inevitably lead to degraded car engine performance and fuel consumption.

Myth #2: When using car air filters, some private cars are often dismissed. The owner thinks that the car air filter will not achieve much effect. After a new car is used for a period of time, the air filter is completely blocked. At this time, the air filter is simply put. It will be removed and will not be replaced. The result of this may not affect the performance of the car engine in a short time, but in the long run, the wear on the car engine is very serious. Data shows that without car air filters, the wear rate of automobile engine cylinders will exceed eight times, piston wear rate exceeds three times, and piston ring wear rate will exceed nine times.

Myth 3: The maintenance of automotive air filters is not flexible enough. Most private owners also know the importance of replacing automotive air filters. However, when replacing automotive air filters, they are limited by the guidelines for vehicle maintenance operations. After a few miles, then change the car filter again. However, the degree of urban pollution is different, and the corresponding amount of suspended particles is different. If the pollution is heavy in the northern cities, then the replacement and maintenance of automotive air filters cannot be simply performed according to the instructions. The status is obviously abnormal, so the maintenance cycle should be shortened and the quality of car filters should be improved. This is the correct way of maintenance.
