Oil filters are crucial components of internal combustion engines, designed to remove impurities and contaminants from the engine oil. There are three primary types of oil filters:
Mechanical Filters: These use a paper or synthetic media to physically trap particles from the oil.
Cartridge Filters: These consist of a replaceable filter element housed in a metal or plastic container.
Magnetic Filters: They use magnets to attract and capture ferrous metal particles from the oil.
Each type serves the same purpose but may have specific applications and maintenance requirements.
