Description
– A transmission oil filter, also known as a transmission strainer or hydraulic filter, is a critical component in a vehicle’s transmission system that filters the transmission fluid.
– It removes contaminants like dirt, debris, and metal shavings, preventing them from circulating and causing damage to the transmission’s internal parts.
– This ensures smooth operation, proper lubrication, and cooling, ultimately extending the lifespan of the transmission.
Key Components:
Filter Media:
The heart of the filter, usually made of paper or synthetic material, that traps the contaminants.
Core:
A supporting structure, often made of steel or nylon, that reinforces the filter media.
End Caps:
Seal the filter element and prevent fluid bypass.
