“A truck that runs well needs regular oil changes.” This familiar saying from the local truck mechanic echoes in my ears every time I prepare for a new delivery. But beyond quality oil, what other “secret weapon” ensures a truck’s engine, its very heart, stays healthy and runs smoothly on every road? The answer is the indispensable oil filter!
Modern Truck Oil Filter
Think of the oil filter as your truck’s lungs. It removes harmful contaminants from the engine oil, such as dirt, metal particles, and sludge, keeping the oil clean and ensuring smooth and efficient engine operation.
Without an oil filter, engine oil would become contaminated, leading to engine wear, reduced performance, and even catastrophic failure.
Mr. Nguyen Van A, an automotive expert at Hanoi University of Transport and Communications, shares: “The oil filter is a small but crucial component in maintaining engine longevity. Regularly replacing the oil filter is essential for ensuring efficient vehicle operation and fuel economy.” (Source: “Modern Automotive Maintenance”)
There are two main types of oil filters available on the market:
1. Mechanical Oil Filters: These are the most common type, offering affordability and a simple design.
2. Cartridge Oil Filters: More modern and efficient, these filters provide superior filtration and longer life but come with a higher price tag.
Experts recommend replacing your oil filter every 5,000 – 7,000 km or with every oil change.
However, the replacement frequency also depends on the vehicle’s operating conditions. If the truck frequently operates in dusty or harsh environments, more frequent oil filter changes are recommended.
