The dirt on all those filters

    Welcome back to the Blackmotorway Blog. It has been awhile since a new blog has been posted. Let's put some informational blogs up to help with maintaining your vehicle.

     In this blog we will talk about the filters in your vehicle. Let's look at what they do and what tasks each one preforms. One of the major causes of damage to a vehicle and its engine is DIRT. We may not see it but dirt is everywhere in Mother Nature. We use filters to screen out that dirt. The three filters include air, oil, and fuel. Read on to find out what these filters do for our wonderful four wheel driving machines.

   ENGINE AIR FILTER:
      The engine in your car works like a giant air pump. It takes in air, mixes it with fuel, to provide the mixture to power the engine. and that air has dust and dirt particles in it. That dirt can cause great damage to the engine.
The air filter is one of the parts and components of your car that you do need to change regularly. After all, it is one of those parts that really do a messy kind of work. Remember that one of its main functions is to actually prevent particulate matter from entering important parts of your engine.
What is important is that you should be able to keep in mind that air filters need to be changed regularly. Automobile experts suggest that you should at least replace an air filter annually. However, there are exemptions to this rule and these exemptions depend on the kind of performance that your car has along with its frequency of use. If air filters are new, they actually increase your cars efficiency. So it means that if you have old or dirty air filters, you would have higher chances of receiving a lowered efficiency.

     OIL FILTER:

Your engine needs constant lubrication to prevent friction and heat from climbing past tolerable levels. That lubrication comes in the form of motor oil. Over time, the oil in your car's engine will accumulate dirt, debris, and particles. If these elements gain access to your engine, they can cause damage and early wear and tear. The obstacle that stands in their way is your oil filter. The oil and oil filter needs to be changed every 3 months or 3000 miles. Black Motor Co. can change and help you maintain your vehicle's oil and other fluids and maintainance needs.

      FUEL FILTER:

            Ever bought cheap gas that left your car sputtering and spitting. Without the fuel filter, it may not have started and ran at all. Even though gas and diesel are fairly pure from the refinery, after the hauling, storing, and pumping, the fuel tends to soak up impurities like dirt, rust, and water. The fuel filter screens out this debris making sure that the fuel will keep the engine running at peak performance.

       There are other filters which may be located in your vehicle. They include a cabin air filter or seat ventilation filter. Black Motor Co. can replace and maintain all of your filters needs or any other maintainance needs for your vehicle.

     It is that time or year---KEEP AN EYE TO THE SKY!!!!
