Oils & Oil Filters

Oil filters are a small but essential engine component that removes contaminants, such as metal shavings, dirt, and carbon deposits, from motor oil before it circulates back through the engine. Every oil filter on car engines works the same basic way: oil passes through a filtering medium that traps particles while allowing clean, filtered oil to reach bearings, camshafts, and other moving parts. Without a functioning filter, abrasive particles would accelerate wear on internal engine components, shortening engine life and reducing overall performance. Oil filters are typically replaced at every oil change interval, making them one of the most routine yet important maintenance items for any vehicle owner, alongside other regular checks covered in our guide to suspension maintenance.
