Unique paper
Judge for yourself: almost all well-known brands have left Russia, but their products are in stores! It is especially difficult in the choice of oil filters, because this is a rather technological product and it seriously affects the resource of the internal combustion engine.
The cartridge of almost all modern oil filters is made of paper. But the paper in it is not simple: it is made of special woods and impregnated with high-tech compounds, thanks to which it can withstand high thermal and mechanical loads inherent in modern engines.
Only a few factories make filter paper for the whole world, therefore counterfeit manufacturers simply cannot get hold of such material. That is why they often use ordinary cardboard.
Important valves
In addition, each oil filter must have two valves: bypass and anti-drain. If the oil filter is not separable, they are built into the housing. Where the oil filters the cartridge, the valves are part of the engine’s oil cleaning system.
But the production of reliable valves is expensive, which is why many counterfeit manufacturers do not do them at all.
If there is no bypass valve (or of poor quality), in severe frost, if the oil thickens or becomes clogged, the paper can tear and get into the engine along with all the accumulated dirt. And the anti-drain valve prevents oil shortage when starting the engine – this is also very important.
Oil filters “Behind the wheel” provide better filtration and are suitable even for cars with high mileage.
Which one to choose?
Despite the fact that filters are consumables, their choice should be taken very seriously. All power supply and lubrication systems of modern cars are meticulously designed and operate almost to the limit of their capabilities. Any deviation from the specified parameters can lead to expensive repairs.
But spending a lot of money on filters from well-known brands is not an option, as counterfeits have flooded the market. High-quality car filters under the Za Rulem brand will help to solve this problem. They are produced in Russia, and therefore they are inexpensive, but they fully meet all the requirements of car manufacturers.
