What Does An Oil Filter Do?

Engine oil plays a key role in your car, preventing friction between your engine parts – but over time, it can pick up metal shavings and road debris. Your car’s oil filter is there to make sure your engine oil can circulate smoothly by preventing contaminants from building up within it. These contaminants can wear down parts in the engine system over time, so it’s essential that they’re removed before any damage happens.

How Often Should An Oil Filter Be Changed?

Your vehicle’s oil filter should be checked at least annually and swapped out after two oil changes.

How Do I Know If My Oil Filter Needs To Be Changed?

There are several ways you can tell it’s time to replace your oil filter;

Your engine is overheating
Engine performance is worse than normal, or slow and sluggish
Your engine is making a knocking or ticking sound
Your oil pressure warning light comes on
Your fuel efficiency is reduced
You notice dirty, dark or smoky exhaust fumes while you drive

FAQs

Where Is The Oil Filter Located?

In most vehicles, the oil filter is located on the engine block but can also be found above the engine or behind the radiator. Check your car’s user manual to find out exactly where your oil filter is located.

Can I Change My Oil Filter Myself?

It's possible to change an oil filter yourself, but you’ll need a new oil filter, engine oil, a sump plug and your car’s user manual to hand. If you’re unsure, it’s always best to enlist the help of a mechanic.

Is It Compulsory To Change An Oil Filter When You Change Your Oil?

It's highly recommended to change your oil filter alongside your oil. This way, clean oil can circulate without the risk of picking up any debris, metal particles or contaminants that your current oil filter has caught.
