Automatic transmission oil filter
The automatic transmission oil filter is an important component that is responsible for removing contaminants such as metal particles, dust and dirt from the transmission oil. It helps keep the oil clean and protects the internal components of the automatic transmission from wear and damage.
Types of automatic transmission filters:
There are two main types of automatic transmission filters:
* Mesh Filters: These filters are made of a fine metal mesh that traps particles of a certain size.
*Paper filters: These filters are made of special paper that traps smaller particles.
Automatic transmission filter functions:
* Removing metal particles and dirt from transmission oil
* Protection of internal automatic transmission components from wear
* Increased service life of automatic transmission
* Maintaining automatic transmission efficiency
*Keeping transmission oil clean
