In the case of oil, although the filter is prepared to guarantee the passage of oil to the engine in any circumstance, “abusing the passage of unfiltered oil to the engine can lead to serious damage due to component wear”

The lack of adequate maintenance of the vehicle’s filters, either by not respecting the periods indicated in the vehicle manuals or by directly never replacing them, “may have different consequences depending on the type of filter”, warns the expert in the development of automotive filtration systems, MANN-FILTER. “For example, in the case of air and fuel filters, a lack of maintenance will result in a malfunction of the engine, jerks, a decrease in power, and an increase in exhaust emissions,” they explain from the company, “being able to even going so far as to cause the engine not to start”, they conclude.
In the case of oil, although the filter is prepared to guarantee the passage of oil to the engine in any circumstance, MANN-FILTER points out that “abusing the passage of unfiltered oil to the engine can lead to a serious damage due to wear of the components”.
For its part, inadequate maintenance of the cabin filters will cause inadequate or no ventilation of the compartment, fogging of the windows, drowsiness, headaches, etc.
Given this lack of maintenance, the vehicle emits a series of signals that we must attend to. In the case of the passenger compartment, the first thing we are going to notice is a malfunction of the air conditioning and ventilation, due to a reduced air intake into the compartment. In air, you will notice a reduction in power, jerks or an increase in consumption. And in the case of the fuel filter, pulling or a difficulty in starting can be noticed. However, in the case of the oil filter, no symptoms will be noticed, “so its inspection and maintenance become even more essential,” they recommend from MANN-FILTER.
As a maintenance formula, MANN-FILTER always advises ruling out cleaning or blowing the filters. “The filters work in depth, that is, the dirt remains retained in the deep structure of the fibers of the filter medium, so external cleaning is completely ineffective,” they explain and continue to point out that “in addition, the blowing pressure can cause the tearing of the filter medium allowing the passage of unwanted dirt to the engine».
