Genuine Mopar Oil Filters

The engine at the heart of your car, van, SUV, or pickup depends greatly on clean motor oil running through the many moving parts to lubricate them. Unfortunately, since the refining process doesn't completely remove all impurities from the oil, even the freshest motor oil still contains contaminants that can do harm to your engine and its performance. That's why your vehicle came with an oil filter.

What Does Your Oil Filter Do?

The oil filter collects those microscopic troublemakers before the motor oil heads to the engine to begin lubricating the parts. Since the oil also collects contaminants that are gathering in your engine, the filter sieves those out as the oil runs back through.

In time, though, your oil filter will begin to have trouble keeping the motor oil clean. That could be due to it getting clogged up, or it may have degraded with age. When that happens, your engine is at a higher risk of having issues.

How to Spot Oil Filter Issues

Learning to recognize the signs of a failing oil filter is crucial. They include:

• Dirty exhaust emissions
• The engine begins to sputter
• Your dashboard warning light comes on
• You notice impaired engine performance

If you don't notice any of these symptoms, check your owner's manual for your recommended maintenance schedule. Typically, you won't need to replace your oil filter every time you change your oil; every other oil change should do the trick.

When you do need to replace your oil filter, you want to be sure to get one that's designed for your model's engine. That ensures a solid seal and greatly reduces the odds of an oil leak or complete detachment. Mopar oil filters are made specifically for your make and model, and come with a guaranteed compatibility that can't be matched.
