Auto parts filter

Helping customers understand what the filter is made of and why it matters goes a long way in building trust.
All cars are equipped with various filters to keep the driver’s fluids and air in the best possible condition.
A typical vehicle will have at least one pollen/cabin filter, one fuel filter, one air filter, and one oil filter.
A good car service and repair shop will notify the car owner to change the filter when the time is right.
But can you explain why? Have you given them the information they need to know that not all filters are created equal – the value can vary greatly. Not to mention that poor quality filters are hard to spot with the naked eye.
The COVID-19 pandemic has shown the importance of car air quality. Consumers are now more wary of clogged filters. As awareness of filters and their maintenance grows, Market Research Future analysis shows that the global market will register a strong CAGR of around 4%.
Sales will increase as consumers demand better care in this area. Here are some ideas specifically designed to educate customers about oil filters.
Oil filters are made of metal cans and sealing gaskets, which allows them to reliably seal engine surfaces. The base plate of the gasket has various small holes in the space inside the gasket. The center hole is connected to the oil filter system on the cylinder block.
The filter material is inside the tank and is usually made from synthetic fibers. There are two main types of oil filters: cartridge/element and spin-on. They all do the same thing right in different ways.
The oil filter is designed to constantly clean the oil from small deposits and metal debris. When the driver uses the vehicle, soot particles naturally break off from moving engine components. If oil is left unfiltered, automotive oil can lose its effectiveness very quickly and cause catastrophic engine damage.
These particles can wear down moving parts inside the engine, especially bearings. Sooner or later the wear will be too great and the engine will seize up. If this happens, owners can either find a new engine or pay thousands of dollars for repairs.
As the name suggests, the oil filter is responsible for keeping the oil clean. Thanks to the filter in the assembly, the oil can pass through the filtration process, making it clean after leaving the filter. This component filters out any external contaminants, contaminants or particles and ensures that only clean oil passes through the engine.
The engine is perhaps the most important part of any car. Reliability and sportiness of the car depend on serviceability of its engine. It’s easy to see why motor oil is critical to the maintenance of your vehicle – it’s responsible for keeping your engine running efficiently.
It lubricates the internal moving parts of the engine and reduces friction problems. It also protects the engine from any type of damage, corrosion, rust and any external contaminants. On the other hand, oil also collects contaminants over time, which can affect how well it protects the engine. This puts the entire interior of the vehicle at risk.
As mentioned earlier, engine oil is vital to the health of your engine. If left unchecked, over time the oil can become filled with small solids that can accumulate and wear out the engine. In addition, dirty oil can damage oil pump components and engine bearing surfaces. Therefore, the oil must be clean. This is where the concept of an oil filter comes in.
Because oil filters play a vital role in keeping oil clean and protecting your engine from contaminants, choosing the right filter is critical. Because most filters have the same parts and work the same way, there are some minor design and size differences to be aware of.
It’s best to follow the owner’s manual that came with your vehicle to learn about specific model specifics. The wrong oil filters can fail, leak, or wear out other components, creating a whole new set of headaches for car owners. As a technician, you are vital to ensure that customers receive the correct and optimal filter for their vehicle.
Making a quality oil filter requires a large number of components. OEMs define what their cars need. It is the responsibility of the technician to ensure that the end customer receives the part built into their specific vehicle.
