Oil Filters

Oil filters are simple mechanisms that keep your engine oil free of contaminants. When your GM engine runs, it needs to remain lubricated and cool. Oil helps your engine in both areas, however, over time, the oil becomes dirty and thick. Your engine oil needs to be replaced routinely as well as the filter.

How an Oil Filter Works

Similar to a fuel filter, your oil filter is made of pleated cotton fibers that allow liquid through but captures any dirt and metal contaminants. Oil filters have the cotton fibers, or what is known as filter media, packed within a steel cannister. With one entry port and one exit port, the oil is pumped through and comes out the other side cleaner than it went in.

Since your oil becomes thick over time, it also becomes dirty. The oil filter does clean it, but after 7,000 to 10,000 miles, (depending on what model you drive), your filter will need to be exchanged for a new one. The contaminants that build up can begin clogging oil flow which can lead to symptoms such as:
