car cabin filter-Here are tips for choosing the right oil filter
A misconception regarding oil filters is that if there is less material inside, it does not work well. That’s not the case; not all filter material is the same. In fact, there are many forms of material in the marketplace. The amount of material does not always determine the efficiency or capacity of the filter; however, the type of material used is key in how a filter operates, says Tim Latham, Valvoline’s Product Line Manager. “Valvoline™ uses an advanced synthetic blend material, which provides excellent protection, high efficiency and greater capacity.” Note that traditional cellulose media is not as efficient as newer synthetic blended media. Oil filters with traditional cellulose (paper) are usually lower quality filters with larger pores and lower efficiency. They usually provide less protection for the engine.
