Popular Questions Asked
What does an oil filter do?
Your oil filter is designed to protect your engine's lubrication system from contaminants such as gunk and dirt. This is to ensure your engine isn't starved of oil, ensuring all your engine components are lubricated sufficiently. If your engine is starved from oil, this can cause several issues with your big end bearings, cylinder walls, valves and cam lobes, leading to costly repairs to these components or the need for an entirely new engine.
An oil filter works by oil entering the small holes around the base of the filter. It's then passed through the filter media, removing any gunk, dirt, and other contaminants before allowing the oil to go through the centre of the oil filter cartridge to lubricate the engine once more.
How often do I need to replace my oil filter?
It is recommended to replace your oil filter every 8,000 to 15,000 kilometres or as per your owner's manual. We recommended every time you change your engine oil, you should replace your oil filter.
However, in certain conditions, you might need to change it more often. If you use your vehicle for heavy towing, pushing your car to the limits whilst on a track day, in stop-start traffic on a regular basis, or in extreme heat, you should replace your oil filters with greater frequency. The reason for this is the harder your engine works, the hotter the oil gets, and the quicker your engine components wear.
What are the signs my oil filter needs replacing?
As advised above, replacing your oil filter at the correct intervals is crucial to prevent further damage to your engine. A blocked or clogged oil filter can restrict the oil flow and can cause unnecessary wear on your engine. If you notice any of the below symptoms, get into your local Repco store to get a replacement oil filter.
- An oil light appears on the dash
- Noisy engine
- Low oil pressure levels - this will be hard to notice unless you have an oil pressure gauge on your dash.
- Decreased engine performance
- Metallic noise coming from your engine
