Some friends bought a new car soon, the car also ran more than 10,000 kilometers, to the 4S shop for maintenance of the staff asked themselves to replace the gasoline filter, then some friends are more confused, is it every 10,000 or 20,000 kilometers to replace the car filter?
First, whether the car filter element needs to be replaced frequently
In fact, the current car is relatively stable and sturdy, under normal circumstances, one or two thousand kilometers do not change the filter element will not have any problems, if the owner of the economic conditions are more tense, but also more concerned about the cost of maintenance, it can be said that the opening of a hundred thousand kilometers does not need to replace the car filter, then why some old models replace the filter so frequently?
Many old drivers understand that in the past, many old models replaced the cycle of gasoline filters relatively short, the frequency is relatively high, because the gasoline pumps of the old models before were exposed outside, the probability of pollution is relatively large, and many years ago, the quality of domestic oil products was relatively poor, there were more impurities, the pollution was more serious, and the filter replacement cycle of the old car was relatively short.
But now many new models of gasoline pumps including gasoline filters are a separate space, so the probability of it being polluted is smaller, and in recent years, the quality of domestic oil products is getting better and better, if the owners often add PetroChina, Sinopec oil, you can understand that their oil products are relatively clean, rarely there will be impurities, so there is no need to replace the gasoline filter too frequently.
Second, will the car be damaged if the car filter is not replaced?
Some car owners said that their cars have driven more than 100,000 kilometers, have not replaced the car filter, and the car has not had any problems, so will it damage the vehicle if the filter element is not replaced?
In fact, if the car runs 20,000 kilometers to 40,000 kilometers, do not want to spend money can not replace the car filter, do not change will not cause any damage to the car, you may have heard on the Internet that not changing the filter element will lead to insufficient fuel supply to the car, in fact, the current oil pump pressure is relatively large, even if the filter element is slightly dirty, it will not cause too much impact on the oil supply, so it is recommended that everyone replace the filter element for about 100,000 kilometers is enough, and the new car will not have any damage even if the filter element is not replaced.
For some old models, the filter element will indeed have some impact after it is dirty, after all, the gasoline pump of the old model is installed outside the body, the probability of pollution is relatively large, the old model needs to pay attention to checking the gasoline filter when doing maintenance, if it is really dirty, then it is still necessary to replace.
Third, under what circumstances must the filter element be replaced
Although the gasoline filter element does not need to be replaced frequently, it is also necessary to pay attention if there is an abnormality. For example, when driving found that the acceleration is not strong, the power is also significantly reduced, not as sufficient as before, then it is best to go to the 4S shop to check it, if you eliminate other causes of failure, it may be that the gasoline filter is too dirty. If the gasoline filter is too dirty, the car will produce severe shaking when it is serious, and even it is difficult to light the fire, so regular detection of the gasoline filter can also reduce many troubles.
It should be noted that when replacing the filter element, try to choose a better material style, because the filter element is not a conventional maintenance project, or even called maintenance, so when it is necessary to replace, choose a filter element with a better material, because the material is bad, the filter element is also easy to block the oil circuit, and finally leads to the failure of the fuel system, in case of damage Repair Cost is very expensive.
The location of the gasoline filter element is generally located in the depths of the engine, it is not recommended that you replace it yourself, and the replacement process is also more complicated, try to let the 4S professional master test and repair, the specific replacement cycle is still subject to the user manual.
