What is an oil filter?
An oil filter has the task of removing tiny particles and impurities from the engine oil. It is important that engine oil is clean and free from debris as oil that contains particles can cause damage to the engine. Changing your oil filter regularly can be one of the most important maintenance jobs you can do for your engine. There are 2 types of oil filter.
These are:
Spin-on oil filter
Cartridge (element style) oil filter
How do I choose the correct oil filter?
Always fit the oil filter that is recommended for your vehicle. Some vehicles engines have a choice of either a spin-on or cartridge style filter. Sometimes you need to inspect your engine to see which you need. When choosing the correct filter you may need to check if there are any compatibility notes which may include:
Engine code
