The Best Toyota Oil Filters

What Do Oil Filters Do?

An oil filter is responsible for capturing impurities in your motor oil and collecting whatever else the oil builds up as it lubricates engine parts. If your vehicle didn't have one, it would mean your oil pump and its bearings wearing out double time. (They wouldn't be the only parts of your engine that would, either.)

However, any filter can fill with pollution over time (if it doesn't degrade because of its age). So, to keep your engine and its many parts working right, be sure to replace your oil filter during regular maintenance.

How Often Should an Oil Filter be Replaced?

That depends on your owner's manual's recommendations. However, the answer's usually every 3,000 miles or 3 months, whichever comes first. In other words, you should take care of it at each oil change or during every other one. Just be sure you install the correct-size filter. The wrong one can mean an oil leak or complete detachment, and the latter usually results in serious engine damage.
