Oil Filters

Oil filters are essential engine parts that keep your vehicle running smoothly. They also keep engine temperatures at bay.

How an Oil Filter Works for Your Car Engine

Your car, truck or SUV's oil filter is made of pleated paper and synthetic cotton fibers that create a mesh. By allowing oil to flow through, it is designed to trap any particles like metal and dirt from building up in your engine. An oil pump pushes the oil through the steel cannister housing of the oil filter. It has several small import holes and one large exit hole that pushes the filtered oil back into the engine.

When to Replace your Oil Filter

Oil Filters can last between 6,000 and 10,000 miles depending on your vehicle's make and model. It is recommended to change your oil filter every other oil change, but always double check the recommended change date with your owner's manual. It is important to change your oil filter routinely. Over time, it can become over saturated with grime which can restrict oil flow through your engine. This will eventually cause your car's engine to overheat and malfunction.
