Clean air, clean oil, clean fuel – filters keep your engine healthy
Filters may seem like inconspicuous little parts, but they play a crucial role in the performance and lifespan of your engine. They ensure that only clean air, fuel and oil reach your engine, and keep out dirt, dust and combustion residues. At Autobest, we supply high-quality Bosch filters that meet the strictest factory specifications. This way your car performs optimally and your engine stays in top condition longer.
Your engine needs three things to work properly: clean air, clean fuel and clean oil. Filters ensure that all these flows are free from contamination:
Air filter
Keeps dust, dirt and other particles out of the intake air. An engine draws in enormous amounts of air – that air must be clean for optimal combustion.
Oil filter
Filters combustion residues, metal particles and other contamination from the engine oil. Clean oil lubricates better and protects the engine against wear.
Fuel filter
Keeps dirt and water particles out of the fuel, so the fuel injection system and combustion chambers remain clean.
Without good filters, these systems become contaminated, leading to poor performance, higher consumption and ultimately expensive repairs.
Besides original factory filters, there are numerous filters on the market whose quality and prices vary enormously. From the outside you often see little difference – a filter is a filter, you might think. But nothing could be further from the truth.
The quality of a filter lies mainly inside. It's about:
Bosch filters meet the highest quality requirements set by car manufacturers. They're designed to perform optimally throughout the entire maintenance interval, without flow decreasing or filter quality deteriorating.
The oil filter keeps the engine oil in your engine clean, so it continues to lubricate optimally. During driving, all kinds of contamination arise in the oil:
A high-quality Bosch oil filter catches even the smallest particles, but at the same time allows sufficient oil through to make the entire lubrication system function properly. Flow is crucial: too little flow means insufficient lubrication, and that leads to wear and damage.
Bosch oil filters are designed so they continue to do their work throughout the entire maintenance interval without clogging. This keeps your engine optimally lubricated and protected.
Your engine draws in enormous amounts of air – often hundreds of cubic meters per hour. That air contains dust, pollen, insects and other particles that you'd rather not have inside your engine. The air filter catches all this dirt before it reaches the engine.
A contaminated or poor air filter has direct consequences:
In modern cars, a blocked air filter can even lead to error codes and the engine warning light coming on. The electronics detect that too little air is coming in and think there's a malfunction.
Bosch air filters offer the perfect balance: they filter effectively, but at the same time allow sufficient air through for maximum performance.
Fuel you tank isn't always equally clean. There may be water particles, rust from the tank, or small dirt particles in it. The fuel filter ensures that only clean fuel reaches the injection system.
This is especially important with modern engines with very fine injection nozzles. These work with extremely high pressure and very small openings. One small dirt particle can already damage or block such a nozzle, resulting in expensive repairs.
Bosch fuel filters meet the strictest factory specifications and protect your injection system against contamination, so the engine continues to perform optimally.
A filter is therefore not only intended to keep your engine clean – a good filter also ensures the engine performs maximally. For this, a filter must ensure smooth flow of the right volume of intake air, fuel and oil.
This interplay is extremely precise. In the design of an engine, car manufacturers try to achieve the ideal balance between:
A poorly functioning or contaminated filter disrupts this balance. Engine performance decreases, fuel consumption increases and emissions become higher. In modern cars, the electronics can even become disrupted, because they constantly measure air and fuel flows.
With high-quality Bosch filters, this balance remains perfect throughout the entire maintenance interval.
Filters are wear parts and must be replaced regularly. The intervals differ per filter and per car:
Oil filter
Replaced at every major service, often together with the engine oil. On average every 15,000 to 30,000 kilometers, depending on the brand and type of engine.
Air filter
On average every 30,000 to 60,000 kilometers, or earlier if you drive a lot on dusty roads.
Fuel filter
Depending on the brand and type of engine, usually every 60,000 to 120,000 kilometers. Some modern cars have a 'lifetime' fuel filter that basically lasts the entire life of the car.
Always check your service book for the prescribed intervals. We keep track of this and advise you when replacement is necessary.
At Autobest, we supply Bosch filters for virtually every brand and type of car. Whether you have a Volkswagen, Ford, Toyota or BMW – we have the right filters in stock or can order them quickly for you.
Replacement is done professionally and according to factory specifications. This way you know for sure that your engine remains optimally protected and performs maximally.
