Genuine MOPAR Oil Filters

Vehicle oil filters are an important component in the engine lubrication system. They remove contaminants and debris from the oil before it circulates through the engine. Over time, the oil filter can become clogged with debris, reducing its effectiveness and potentially damaging the engine.

It's recommended to replace the oil filter every time the oil is changed, which is typically every 3,000 to 5,000 miles or every 3 to 6 months, whichever comes first. However, it's important to consult the vehicle's owner's manual for specific recommendations as this can vary depending on the make and model of the vehicle.

Signs and symptoms that it's time to change the oil filter can include reduced engine performance, low oil pressure, strange engine noises, and the appearance of debris in the oil. If any of these symptoms occur, it's important to have the oil filter replaced as soon as possible to prevent further damage to the engine.

To install a vehicle oil filter, first, locate the oil filter housing. Use an oil filter wrench to loosen the filter and then remove it by hand. Wipe the mounting surface clean and apply a small amount of fresh oil to the gasket on the new filter. Hand-tighten the new filter onto the housing until snug and then use the oil filter wrench to tighten it an additional 3/4 turn.
