CHOOSING THE RIGHT ENGINE OIL FILTER

Tiny – even microscopic – dirt particles are one of the biggest threats to your engine. If not properly filtered, the accumulated particles can cause significant damage to internal engine parts, and possibly lead to complete engine failure. That’s why choosing the right engine oil filter is so important. When it comes to extending your engine’s life, protection is everything.

WHAT OIL FILTER DO I NEED?

Vehicle use is the key factor in the oil filter you choose. No matter if you drive a heavy-duty work truck for towing and hauling equipment, or a compact sedan for everyday driving around town, FRAM® engine oil filters do more than help your vehicle maintain top performance – they ensure the proper protection for every type of engine and driving style.

WHAT ARE THE COMMON OIL FILTER PROBLEMS?

Trouble with new oil filters doesn’t occur often, but there are a few things that can cause oil to leak from the filter:

  • The filter is installed too loose or is cross threaded

  • The new filter gasket isn’t seated properly

  • The previous filter gasket is stuck to the engine when you install the new one, leading to “double gasket” danger

If any of these issues are left uncorrected, the leak will worsen. Eventually, your engine will lose oil pressure, causing excessive internal friction and threatening significant engine damage.

The other common problem with oil filters is clogging. If the filter hasn’t been changed at the recommended intervals, it will become saturated with dirt and old oil. When this happens, the biggest concern is the filter will be unable to properly trap dirt and other particles. This can lead to overheating and other serious problems with your engine. No matter if you need a conventional or synthetic oil filter, make sure it’s installed correctly with each oil and filter change.

WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU CHANGE YOUR OIL BUT NOT THE FILTER?

Many vehicle owners ask this question, but remember it’s called an “oil and filter change” for a reason. To maintain optimal filtration, you should always change your filter when you change your oil at the recommended intervals. If you don’t, the filter will become oversaturated and cycle some used, dirty oil back through your engine, causing improper lubrication.

Furthermore, the older a filter gets, it loses its ability to properly trap the harmful dirt and dust particles that can enter your engine. This greatly increases the risk of damage to critical engine components as the particulate matter builds up. Changing your oil filter with each oil change is a low-cost, relatively easy task that is a critical part of maintaining top engine performance.
