Automotive Oil Filters Online

Your vehicle's engine relies on motor oil running through it to lubricate the many moving parts at work. Unfortunately, even the freshest motor oil still contains impurities that are left over following the refining process. Those microscopic troublemakers can cause trouble if they make their way into the engine, which is why your car, SUV, pickup, or van has an oil filter in place.

What Oil Filters Do

Just as your air filters protect your engine and your lungs from airborne pollutants, your oil filter captures irritants. It all starts with the oil pump, which pushes the motor oil into the filter's fibers. The fibers collect the contaminants, whether they were originally in the motor oil or the oil collected them on its way through the engine. That leaves clean, viscous oil free to circulate and lubricate.

Unfortunately, though, even the best oil filter will degrade with age or end up too clogged up to effectively do its job. When that happens, engine performance suffers. That's not ideal.
