Be alert to engine oil deterioration and oil filter blockage

The engine is the heart of a car, especially during the transition between spring and summer. Due to high humidity and fluctuating temperatures, it is easy to damage the engine. Therefore, good or bad maintenance directly affects the performance and service life of a car. Experts say that the top five problems that car owners love to commit are the direct causes of their cars developing "heart disease".
Failure to maintain the engine on schedule
People usually like to invest a lot of money in modifications, but they tend to overlook regular engine maintenance. According to experienced auto repair technicians, 50% of the total faults in the cars they handle are caused by poor engine maintenance. It can be seen that engine maintenance plays a crucial role in extending the service life of vehicles. Of course, it will also reduce unnecessary losses for you, otherwise there would be the saying 'using maintenance instead of repair'.
Reminder: It is not only necessary to maintain the engine during the regular maintenance period, but also to inspect and maintain the relevant components of the engine when driving through areas that are particularly humid or dusty.
Engine oil deterioration and poor oil filter element
The quality of lubricating oil of different grades will change during use. After a certain mileage, the performance of the vehicle will deteriorate, which may cause various problems for the engine. To avoid these malfunctions, it is recommended to regularly change the oil in the car according to the usage conditions, and ensure that the oil level is moderate, generally between the upper and lower limits of the oil dipstick.
When the engine oil passes through the fine pores of the oil filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is clogged, the engine oil cannot pass smoothly through the filter element, and may burst the filter element or open the safety valve, passing through the bypass valve and still bringing dirt back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution. Therefore, regular replacement of the oil filter element is equally important.
Reminder: Do not add too little oil, but also not too much. The more expensive the branded synthetic oil, the better. The oil that suits your car is the best.
Air filter clogged
The intake system of the engine mainly consists of two parts: the air filter element and the intake duct. According to different usage situations, it is necessary to regularly clean the air filter. The methods that can be used include blowing high-pressure air from the inside out to blow out the dust in the filter. Due to the paper nature of the air filter, it is important to note that the air pressure should not be too high when blowing to avoid damaging the filter. The air filter should generally be replaced with a new one after three washes, and the cleaning cycle can be determined by the air quality in the daily driving area.
Reminder: It is also important to purchase genuine factory air filters provided by high-quality manufacturers.
The intake duct is too dirty
If the vehicle frequently travels in areas with high dust and poor air quality, attention should be paid to cleaning the intake duct to ensure smooth air intake. The intake duct is very important for the normal operation of the engine. If the intake duct is too dirty, it will lead to a decrease in efficiency, which will prevent the engine from operating within the normal output power range, exacerbating engine wear and aging.
Reminder: Try to avoid areas with high dust, and also pay attention to replacing the air conditioning grille.
