An oil filter traps particles in the engine oil so the oil stays clean as it protects the moving parts. It is changed with the oil. WhatsApp us on 07961 404768 with your registration and we will check which filter fits your car.
What an oil filter does
Engine oil picks up tiny particles as it moves around the engine — metal wear, soot and dirt. The oil filter traps those particles so they do not keep circulating through the moving parts. A filter that is blocked cannot do its job, and oil that is not filtered properly wears the engine faster.
Oil filters are changed with the oil, at the service interval in the car's handbook. They come in two main types: spin-on filters that screw on as a sealed unit, and cartridge filters that sit inside a housing and are replaced as an element. Which type a car has depends on the engine.
How to find the right oil filter
Oil filters are matched to the engine and the filter type, and to the size, thread and seal. Two filters can look alike and still differ in size, thread or seal, so a visual match is not enough. Tell us the registration when you call about your oil filter. Or tell us the make, model, year and engine. The number on the old oil filter helps too, if you can read it.
If you are buying oil as well, the two go together — the engine oil page below explains how to find the right grade for your car.

Oil filters are one of four filters on the car. The air filter guards the intake, the cabin filter guards the air you breathe, and the fuel filter guards the fuel before it reaches the engine — four filters, four different jobs.
