The health of your filters
In order to ensure good health of your engine, let’s review some important elements. Your engine has several filters . They allow the absorption of particles, iron filings, etc. that could clog the engine. The filters therefore allow the engine to breathe better . It is important to change them regularly.
the oil filter : it purifies the impurities present in the oil and prevents clogging of the engine. This filter contributes to the performance of your vehicle . If the filter becomes clogged and is not changed regularly, it can reduce the efficiency of the engine and therefore damage it.
the air filter: its role is to protect the engine by retaining dust and impurities . This filter ensures optimal combustion by guaranteeing the purity of the air-fuel mixture necessary for the proper functioning of the vehicle. If it is worn, it can lead to excess consumption and damage to your engine.
the fuel filter : On petrol vehicles, it protects the injection system , and on diesel vehicles, it removes impurities and separates water from the fuel. If your filter is worn, it may damage the engine.
Not to mention, the coolant. It helps reduce engine temperature and prevent overheating. It is good for your engine to change it every 4 years .
How to take care of your engine on a daily basis?
In everyday driving , you can give your engine a better life with simple actions such as:
Let your engine warm up properly (to 90 degrees) before revving it up . This practice allows the lubrication circuits to reach the right temperature, the oil also becomes more fluid and efficient, but it also allows the metal parts to expand enough to reach their ideal sizes. After that, you can push the engine a little more.
Keep your engine clean , if it is too dirty it will have difficulty cooling down, the ideal is to clean it regularly. Don’t wait until it is covered in a thick layer of soot to clean it.
Choose the best! Don’t try to save on oil and change the oil every 15,000 km.
Instead, opt for quality fuels , as others can damage the injectors.
