What does the oil filter attach to?
Filters are generally attached towards the bottom of the engine so that oil can flow through them first on its journey up through the engine.
Can you use any oil filter that fits?
You will want to check with your vehicle’s manufacturer to make sure, but typically any automotive filters that are made for modern vehicles can be used with any type of oil. The better quality an oil filter is, the better job it will do in filtering contaminants.
What is a canister oil filter?
Cartridge oil filters are a unique type of automotive oil filter sometimes referred to as the “eco oil filter”. Unlike the more common conventional spin-on type of filters, which feature a steel outer canister, cartridge oil filters are made entirely of cellulose filter media and plastic.
Are oil filters one size fits all?
Vehicle owner’s manuals, installers, quick-lube operators, mechanics and retail clerks all have different opinions. The reality is that when it comes to oil and filters, the only right answer is a customized answer. The one-size-fits-all approach does not apply when it comes to oil filters.
What is the difference between a spin on and a cartridge filter?
A spin-on filter is usually mounted at the bottom or side of an engine. During removal, unscrewing the filter releases a flood of dirty oil onto the tech or DIYer that requires clean up. Many cartridge filter caps, on the other hand, allow the tech or DIYer to drain oil from the filter before loosening the cap.
Where does the oil go in a filter?
Oil enters through the series of small holes just inside the sealing gasket. After soaking through the media, the oil leaves through the big hole at the center of the filter’s top.
