Oil Filter Replacement Service

Most people know that getting an oil change is part of every vehicle’s maintenance routine, but did you know that getting your oil filter replaced is just as important? In fact, the lifespan of your engine could depend on it. Here’s everything you need to know about replacing your car’s oil filter and how we can help!

What Is an Oil Filter and Why Does It Need to Be Replaced?

Oil filters keep impurities like dust and dirt out of your oil in your vehicle. Motor oil lubricates all the moving parts in engine and keep things running smoothly.

However, over time the oil filter becomes clogged with debris, which blocks the flow of oil from reaching your engine. When this happens, the oil starts to bypass the filter without being purified.

Contaminated oil is much less effective at lubricating the engine and can result in engine parts wearing down and overheating more quickly. To keep your engine in tiptop shape, we recommend having your oil filter replaced every time you get your oil changed – about once every six to eight months or every 6,000 miles.
