Someone anonymous left a comment about my observation on the car's oil filter. The comment gave me much laughter, for in his mischief is sensed something very true: then why#&%$! oil filter they put the cars?
The answer can be taken as my No. 1 tip for improving the efficiency of the car engine.
The oil is to lubricate the moving engine parts and prevent wear and frictional heating of the same. The more moving parts that require lubrication are the pistons, connecting rods and crankshafts. This lubrication is supplied to pump oil through a pump-light-extracting this fluid from the sump (oil pan "in English). By sucking crankcase oil, the pump sends the oil to a filter that removes wastes and impurities. Then the oil is sprayed under pressure on moving parts, lubricating. The oil then drips back into the crankcase, where the cycle begins again. Below you can see an image that illustrates how a 4-stroke (Otto). In the background we can see the oil container.
Having given this explanation of how express lubrication in the engine of the car now proceed to say this:
The engine works better without the oil filter.
Many people have told me that this is not possible, how can I know more than the engineers in Detroit. The thing is very simple: the oil filter is an insurance against people who do not change the engine oil every 2 months or every 5,000 km
Over the years, and the introduction of fuel injection, combustion within the engine has become more "clean", so it leaves less waste. We also need the engine blocks are aluminum, which is less prone to chipping.
manufacturers recommend changing engine oil every 5,000 km ALMOST NO ONE DOES THIS. The automotive industry's response is to continue using oil filters for user safety negligence. Now, to change the engine oil is a simple thing ... what happens is that the apathy is big.
Imagine this: an oil filter clogged (that the user has traveled 10.000 miles in the car without replacing the engine oil) hinders cost of engine oil. Lubrication is not adequate and the engine warms up unnecessarily. The heat causes the oil to burn inside the engine, the smoking machine and causing the oil level drops. The latter in turn leads to more warming. Warming = wear.
I've seen cars with 100,000 miles on the odometer, suffered greatly from engine wear. Instead I have seen others with 160.000 Km to which they have removed the motor oil filter which ronrronea as a kitten.
Does it work ?....
Yes of course it works. Without oil filter, the engine is best supplied by oil and as a logical consequence is better lubricated. A well lubricated engine uses less energy to operate. And whence comes the energy created using the engine? For providing combustion gas. Less energy used = gasoline saved.
Exactly how much gasoline we talk? That if I take off guard. I do not know. What I can say is that during a traffic jam the engine work less "stressed", which saves 2% -3% of fuel. The benefits of this are not only fuel, but the fact that the engine "smokes" less. It is beneficial for the car that the engine is as clean as possible.
recommend " to undo the oil filter in your car? If you are going to change engine oil every 5,000 miles with eager punctuality, Yes!
But for those who do not want to spend on the frequent oil changes or do not know how to change the oil the car would not recommend that you dispose of FILTER.
Inglés Spoken.
