Q: How often should you replace a filter?

Here we will talk about Automotive filters, "usually refer to three filters, and their replacement cycles are indeed different:
Air filter 10000-20000 kilometers or 12 months
When driving in dusty and hazy areas for a long time or frequently off-road, it is recommended to shorten it to 5000 kilometers or 3-6 months.

Oil filter should be replaced synchronously with each oil change
The specific cycle depends on the type of oil: mineral oil is about 5000 kilometers or 6 months; Fully synthetic engine oil for approximately 5000-7500 kilometers or 10 months; High quality fully synthetic engine oil can reach 10000-15000 kilometers or 12 months.

Fuel filter 20000-60000 kilometers
It is recommended to replace the external type every 20000 to 30000 kilometers; The built-in model can be longer, about 40000 to 80000 kilometers. Please strictly refer to the vehicle manual for specific instructions.
Long term failure to replace the three filters may lead to increased engine wear, decreased power, or increased fuel consumption.

Q: How much does a filter replacement cost?

The cost of replacing a truck filter varies greatly depending on the type of filter, vehicle brand and model, accessory brand (original or aftermarket), and repair location (4S store or regular auto repair shop). The commonly referred to "three filters" replacement refers to the oil filter, air filter, and fuel filter (gasoline filter or diesel filter).
Overall, the total cost of replacing the oil, air, and fuel filters is roughly between usd30 and usd300.

Q: Can I use a 10 micron filter for diesel?

Sure, using a 10 micron filter for your diesel engine is a common and recommended choice, especially for modern diesel engines.
A filtration accuracy of 10 microns is widely used in diesel engine applications, which can effectively filter impurities and particulate matter in fuel, protect precision components of the engine (such as fuel injectors and high-pressure common rail systems), and not excessively restrict fuel flow, thus achieving a good balance between filtration effect and engine performance.

Many mainstream diesel engine manufacturers and filter brands (such as Parker, Manhu, etc.) offer specialized filter cartridges with a precision of 10 microns, suitable for various engine models such as Weichai, Xichai, Foton Cummins, etc. Some sources indicate that 10 microns is the "gold standard" for protecting high-pressure common rail systems, which can significantly improve the stability and lifespan of engines.

However, the final choice should be based on your vehicle or equipment manual, as different engine models have specific requirements for filtration accuracy.
