What is the difference between an oil collector filter and an oil filter
The filter is installed on the oil pump, in the oil pan, immersed in the oil, similar to a shower, there is only a metal filter screen, can filter larger particles of impurities, to prevent damage to the oil pump filter installed outside the engine, which is generally a paper filter element can filter smaller impurities, there are integral and separate replacement of paper core type, This has a life requirement, and the collection filter is generally lifetime
1. The oil filter is connected in series between the oil pump and the main oil passage, so it can filter out all the lubricating oil entering the main oil passage. The shunt cleaner is in parallel with the main oil passage, and only part of the lubricating oil sent out by the filter oil pump.
2. During the working process of the oil collector engine, metal debris, dust, carbon deposits and colloidal sediments oxidized at high temperature and water are constantly mixed with lubricating oil. The function of the oil collection filter is to filter out these mechanical impurities and glia, to ensure the cleanliness of the lubricating oil, to extend its service life
