The automobile industry is constantly evolving. Reasons such as improving lifestyle, growing population and urbanization, growing demand for fuel economy, and environmental concerns have triggered the automobile industry to mature in recent years. Vehicle engines are generally contaminated by three major contaminants-particles, water, and soft organics. Particulate or particles include road dust, engine debris, rust or any other hard particles. If not removed, they cause abrasion and also wear and tear of the engine walls.

The presence of water can cause engine parts corrosion, deposition over fuel injectors, cavitation, and deterioration. Organic contaminants are sticky and slimy in nature and are more common in blended fuels. Exposure of today's sophisticated and complex engines to such contaminants may decrease the engine's life and cause permanent damage to it, resulting in high maintenance costs, low performance, excessive fuel consumption and high emission levels. As a result, filters have become a very critical part of automobiles due to their functionality and low cost.
