Changing car filters during regular inspection pays off

The car is the German’s favourite child, as the saying goes. But without regular inspections, even the very latest vehicle will eventually become a real money combustion engine. Unnecessary repairs can often be saved if the maintenance intervals specified by the manufacturer are observed. In this context, it does not matter whether the vehicle is a car with a high annual mileage or a so-called pensioner’s car, which is only driven a few kilometres per year.

Car inspections usually also mean changing various filters in the car. Therefore, this category comprises the different filter types as well as individually compiled filter sets. In the lower section, we present the filters and the necessity of regular inspections in more detail.

What do car inspections include?

Inspections serve to check all important parts of a vehicle at regular intervals. An important aspect in that regard is changing the most important filters in the car. These include:

What are the functions of filters in or on the car?

Filters retain solids that must not be allowed to enter a liquid or air stream. They function in a way comparable to a sieve. The air filter, for example, ensures that only purified air enters the engine, while the cabin filter prevents pollutants, soot or dust from entering the passenger compartment. The fuel filter, on the other hand, protects the fuel from dirt particles and the oil filter keeps dirt particles, soot or unburned fuel away from the engine oil. The filters for hydraulic oil and transmission oil have a comparable function.

Only with flawlessly functioning filters can the respective components work cleanly. Thus, the lifespan of the car parts is extended and unnecessary repair work is reduced. Moreover, the cabin air filter reduces health hazards for drivers and other passengers.

What are the advantages of regular car inspections?

If you have your vehicle serviced on a regular basis, this not only increases the value in the event of a sale, but also ensures mobility. A reliable car has become an indispensable means of transportation in our time. In addition, compliance with inspection dates is a prerequisite for certain warranty services by the manufacturer.

Because if a defect occurs in a motor vehicle during the warranty period, the manufacturer has it certified in most cases whether the maintenance intervals have been duly observed. Warranty repairs are only approved if this is the case.

Why should you buy original car filters during inspection?

For filters and other spare parts in the course of car inspections, it is recommended to use original spare parts. Not only do you maintain the value of your vehicle by this, but also you can thus rely at all times on the highest quality and accuracy of fit. In addition to the individual products we have also put together suitable filter sets for each vehicle in accordance with the manufacturers’ specifications. In addition, we have also compiled so-called maintenance packages, which in addition to the filters also contain other products that are necessary for inspection or an oil change.

This makes it even easier for you to select the right products for your inspection. Should you still have any questions about the products, please do not hesitate to contact our service team at any time.
