Why does sludge appear in the oil shell

Sludge is the fuel residue inside the engine. Also known as carbon sludge, it remains in the engine oil and is filtered by the oil filter. However, if the oil or oil filter is not changed, sludge will build up and the oil will become dirty and deteriorate. If the oil is black, it is most likely caused by sludge, so the oil needs to be changed.

Sludge is the fuel residue inside the engine. Also known as carbon sludge, it remains in the engine oil and is filtered by the oil filter. However, if the oil or oil filter is not changed, sludge will build up and the oil will become dirty and deteriorate. If the oil is black, it is most likely caused by sludge, so the oil needs to be changed.

First, is this sludge normal? It should be abnormal. There are also many people explaining that this kind of oiliness is normal and every engine will have it. This statement is wrong. The oil is pumped by the oil pump to various parts of the engine through the filter screen, and then returns to the oil filter element from top to bottom. Impurities are filtered and flow to the oil pan. This kind of sludge can be said to be several times the viscosity of oil, basically does not have the performance of a fluid, and will be firmly adsorbed on the surface of the oil pump filter. The filter cannot effectively absorb enough oil, which will affect the circulation performance of the oil, accelerate the deterioration of the oil, and increase the amount of sludge. Engine oil has a cooling effect in the engine, and insufficient flow leads to local high temperature of the engine oil, which is the root cause of sludge.

Oil filters leave residue in the filter as the oil circulates. If the oil circulation is normal, the sludge should be in the oil filter element, not adsorbed on the surface of the oil pump screen. Then every time the oil is changed, why is it still like this? Turbocharged engines can use low viscosity oil, but for normal engines, replace the correct type of oil, the sludge is not caused by oil problems. Of course, fake motor oil is another matter.

How to choose an air filter

The air filter is the most important part of the three major filters that protect the machine, because the quality of the oil and fuel is controllable, the quality of the air is the most uncontrollable, and the impurities in the air are the types that need to be properly filtered .

The Lungs of Your Engine - How an Air Filter Works

An engine needs two raw materials to work: gasoline and air. Gasoline is purchased by us, added to the fuel tank of the car, filtered through the oil supply system, and then sent to the combustion chamber of the engine to mix with air for combustion. And the air does not need to be purchased, just take it directly. How does the air enter the engine? Still need to filter?

Misunderstandings and identification methods of air filters

The task of the air filter is to filter the suspended particles in the air entering the cylinder to reduce the wear of the cylinder, piston and piston ring. Of the three media required for the engine to work, air has the largest volume and comes from the atmosphere. If the air filter cannot effectively filter the suspended particles in the air, the lighter one will accelerate the wear of the cylinder, piston and piston ring, and the heavier one will cause the cylinder to be strained and shorten the service life of the engine.

How often should the hydraulic oil filter be replaced?

The hydraulic oil filter element is used in the hydraulic system to filter out solid particles and colloidal substances in the working medium. As well as filtering out solid impurities mixed from the outside or generated inside the system in various oil systems, it can effectively control the pollution degree of the working medium and protect the normal operation of mechanical equipment. It is an indispensable part of the pipeline series for conveying medium .
