Mopar Oil Filters

All You Need to Know About Mopar Oil Filters

Motor oil lubricates a vehicle's engine. However, the oil itself contains impurities from its production process. Plus, it accumulates them while it greases up engine parts.

If the contaminants get into the engine, more often than not, they build up. When they do, they're sure to wear out the oil pump and its bearing. Those won't be all that are affected, either.

Luckily, whether you're driving a Chrysler car, a Jeep or Dodge SUV, a RAM van or truck, or otherwise, it's got an oil filter to capture everything. The filter isn't permanent, though. It'll eventually degrade with age, that is, if it doesn't otherwise get clogged. When that happens, it can break down, and engine problems will almost always follow. The best way to avoid them? Change your oil filter regularly and be on the lookout for the signs it may be replacement time.

What are the Symptoms of Bad Ones?

• Dirty, smoky exhaust fumes
• Oil pressure loss
• An oil leak
• Engine sputters
• Metallic sounds coming from the engine while it's running

When Do You Replace Them?

During every oil change, or during every other flush and replacement. That means every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, every 3 months, or, if you have an extended-life oil filter, every 10,000 miles.

Which One Does Your Vehicle Need?

That depends on its required thread and gasket sizes. It's important to put in a filter that fits your vehicle properly, as installing one that's the wrong size can cause oil leaks. It can also cause the filter to detach -- in most cases, causing serious -- and expensive -- engine damage.

Either way, the answer is Mopar. Its oil filters are designed to spec for Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and RAM models. You can buy them online right here at our auto parts store.
