Oil Filters

The oil filter is among the most important parts of your vehicle. They are typically made with cellulose paper, cotton and other manufactured materials. The fundamental job of the oil filter is to remove particles and pollutants from your oil before it gets used by major parts of your vehicle. It accomplishes this job by filtering out anything that might cause wear and tear to your vehicle. You need to replace the oil filter on a regular basis, just like you replace your oil. You should be replacing the filter at the same time as your oil so everything can be fresh at the same time. The oil filter can become clogged as time goes on and might need replacement sooner than expected, however. This is why you should be checking the filter to see if it is excessively dirty or worn. Engine parts can overheat if not enough clean oil gets through. When you need a new oil filter, make sure you get one that is OEM. Only an OEM filter will last a long time and fit properly.
