External automatic transmission fine filter
The external fine filter of an automatic transmission (automatic transmission) is an additional filter element that is installed as an addition to the standard filter built into the automatic transmission. This filter provides more thorough filtration of transmission fluid, which helps extend the life of the transmission.
Operating principle
The external fine filter works on the same principle as the standard filter. Transmission fluid passes through a filter media that traps contaminants such as metal particles, dust and debris. The purified fluid is then returned to the automatic transmission.
Advantages
Using an external automatic transmission fine filter has a number of advantages:
* Extends transmission life: Thorough filtration helps remove contaminants that can damage internal transmission components.
*Smooth Gear Shifting: Purified fluid provides smoother gear shifting.
* Reduce Wear: The filter helps prevent wear on transmission components by removing abrasive particles.
* Extended Transmission Fluid Change Interval: An external filter can extend transmission fluid life, saving you money on maintenance.
*Easy Installation: Most external fine filters can be easily installed using the included instructions.
Selection and installation
When choosing an external fine filter for an automatic transmission, the following factors should be taken into account:
* Automatic transmission type: Make sure the filter is compatible with your automatic transmission model.
* Size and Flow: Select a filter with the appropriate size and flow to ensure proper filtration and not overload the system.
* Quality: Choose filters from reputable manufacturers that use high quality materials and efficient filter elements.
Installing an external automatic transmission fine filter usually includes the following steps:
1. Disconnect the hose from the automatic transmission cooling line.
2. Install the filter into the hose.
3. Tighten the fittings to secure the filter.
4. Connect the hose back to the automatic transmission cooling line.
Service
External fine filters of automatic transmissions should be regularly maintained by cleaning or replacing the filter element. The service interval depends on the filter type and operating conditions. It is generally recommended to clean or replace the filter every 20,000-50,000 kilometers or every 2-3 years.
