The Science of Filtration: Air and Fuel

The air filter is often thought of as a simple accessory, but it is actually the lungs of the engine. During autumn plowing, the filter accumulates micro-particles that, if not removed or if the filter is exhausted, create a "crust" that prevents correct oxygenation. This leads to incomplete combustion, increasing fuel consumption by up to 10% and accelerating the wear of piston rings.

The fuel filter, on the other hand, must face the challenge of condensation. During the winter months, temperature fluctuations create water inside the tanks. Water is the sworn enemy of Common-Rail systems: moisture causes galvanic corrosion and sudden injector failure—components that cost thousands of euros to replace.

Technical Tip: Don't just drain the water separator. Replace the filter element to ensure total water separation before it reaches the high-pressure pump.

Professional Lubrication and Hydraulic Systems

Engine oil must not only lubricate but also clean and protect against acid corrosion. Oil that has worked many hours has lost its fundamental additives. Replacing the oil now, before temperatures rise, ensures that the protective film holds up even when the engine runs at full throttle for hours under the sun.

Hydraulic oil deserves a separate chapter. In the industrial and agricultural sectors, power is transmitted through fluids. Degraded hydraulic oil or oil contaminated by metal particles can cause malfunction of distributors and lifters. Check the oil color: if it appears "milky," it is contaminated with water and must be changed immediately along with high-pressure hydraulic filters to protect gear or piston pumps.

Stage V Standards: DPF, AdBlue, and Technology

With the advent of Stage V engines, maintenance is no longer just mechanical, but technological. These engines require Low-SAPS oils to prevent ash from clogging the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). A clogged DPF not only reduces performance but also triggers protection modes that limit the vehicle's speed, making it unusable in the field.

The AdBlue (SCR) system deserves special mention: after periods of inactivity, urea residues can crystallize in filters and lines. Cleaning or replacing the specific AdBlue circuit filter is the only way to avoid ECU errors and electronic breakdowns that require specialized technician intervention.
