OEM Oil Filters

Ford And GM Oil Filters FAQ

What Do Oil Filters Do?

Put simply, an oil filter removes pollutants from the motor oil that lubricates your engine and its many moving parts.

How Do Oil Filters Work?

First, the oil pump pushes the motor oil through the oil filter's fibers. Those fibers capture any contaminants, allowing clean oil to flow through the engine. There, the oil also collects any impurities generated by the combustion process before it returns for another cleansing cycle.

How to Spot Oil Filter Problems

No oil filter is designed to last forever, though. They eventually get clogged up with particulates, or degrade over time. When either happens, your engine's put at risk -- which puts your budget at risk as well. Signs of trouble include:

• Dirty exhaust emissions
• Low oil pressure
• Metallic noises coming from your engine
• Your engine starts sputtering

When To Replace Your Ford Or GM Oil Filter

Save yourself the hassle and cost of an engine rebuild by replacing your oil filter on a regular basis. Your owner's manual details your recommended maintenance schedule, but you should plan on replacing yours every other time you change your oil if you drive an older model Ford. A newer Cadillac, on the other hand, may only need an oil change every 10,000 miles. In that case, you'll want to replace your filter with every oil change.
