Genuine FORD TRANSIT 2021 Oil Filter: EBK2Q6714AA

High-Quality Replacement Oil Filter for Your FORD TRANSIT

The oil filter is a critical component of your FORD TRANSIT 2021’s lubrication system. Also known as an engine oil filter, it meticulously removes contaminants – including dirt, water, and metal particles – from your engine’s oil. This ensures clean, lubricating oil, preventing premature wear and tear on engine components and extending engine lifespan.

Engine oil, while crucial for lubrication and cooling, becomes contaminated during operation. Friction between moving parts generates metal shavings, while combustion processes produce soot and cause oil degradation. Turbocharged engines add another layer of complexity, requiring the oil to lubricate the turbocharger. To maintain optimal performance, the oil filter needs replacing approximately every six months or 8,000-10,000 kilometers.

The oil filter’s operation is straightforward: oil enters the filter housing, passes through layered filter media, and then flows back to the engine, leaving behind impurities. Key components include:

A one-way valve: Prevents oil backflow when the engine is off.
A filter element: This usually consists of pleated layers of specialized filter media (paper, felt, or metal) that trap contaminants.
A safety valve and housing: This system safeguards the engine by bypassing the filter if the oil flow is restricted or pressure becomes excessive, preventing potential damage.

Oil filters are typically categorized as either replaceable filter elements or complete filter assemblies. With replaceable elements, only the filter media needs replacing; with assemblies, the entire unit must be replaced. Conveniently located for easy access and regular maintenance, the oil filter effectively keeps your engine clean and running smoothly. This crucial component removes abrasive materials, contributing to engine longevity and stability. The filter media must withstand high temperatures and the chemical properties of the engine oil. The multi-layered filtration ensures effective impurity removal. Neglecting regular filter changes will allow contaminated oil to circulate, increasing friction and causing excessive wear.
