Engine oil filter what it is for

The main function of the oil filter is to retain the particles of impurities created in combustion. It is placed on the delivery of the oil pump and filters the oil before its use to lubricate the engine components.

The presence of impurities in the oil could seriously damage some engine components such as rings, pistons, bushings or block the lubrication passages causing the engine to melt.

Different types of oil filters

The complete model where the filter cartridge, generally composed of a special paper or felt, is enclosed in a metal frame

With cartridge, only the cartridge is replaced while the casing is part of the engine components.

When to replace it?

The oil filter must be replaced every time the oil is changed and in any case always respecting the interval recommended by the manufacturer (15,000-20,000km).

However, the life of the oil filter can be reduced for the following reasons:

  • Frequent cold starts
  • Prolonged Judas in city traffic with the engine idling
  • Use of poor quality fuel which produces many impurities as combustion residues
  • Driving on dirt roads or on construction sites with high dust content

  • The outer filter housing is swollen
  • At idle, the oil warning light comes on, a symptom of low engine oil pressure
  • Overheating of the motor
  • Excessive consumption of lubricant causing frequent top-ups.
