Oil Filters

Your engine is a marvel of modern engineering, but it relies on clean motor oil running through it to keep the many moving parts properly lubricated. Unfortunately, the refining process doesn't completely remove all contaminants from the motor oil. Add in the fact that the oil collects any impurities that collect in the motor, and you can see why the oil could get clogged up with particulates and become less effective. That's why your vehicle has an oil filter.

The oil filter is responsible for removing those pollutants, keeping the motor oil clean and viscous as it cycles through the engine. Unfortunately, even the best oil filter will eventually either get too blocked up or degraded to do its job. That's not good, since it affects your engine's ability to run right.

Signs of a failing oil filter include:

• A sputtering engine
• Engine performance suffers
• Strange engine noises
• Dirty smoke coming from the exhaust
• The oil pressure light comes on

Genuine OEM Oil Filters Are Your Best Choice

If you don’t notice any of these symptoms, check your owner's manual for your recommended maintenance schedule. Generally, you should plan on replacing your oil filter every other time you change your oil. When you do need to replace your old oil filter, getting the right one for your vehicle is essential. Your manufacturer makes their oil filters to match your model and its engine, ensuring the secure fit, proper gasket seal, and guaranteed performance that you need.
