OEM Toyota Oil Filters

The engine in your Toyota has many moving parts hard at work. In order for them to continue to operate at peak efficiency, they need clean motor oil running through to lubricate them. The thing is, even fresh motor oil contains impurities, and those can cause problems inside your engine if allowed to accumulate. That's why your vehicle has an oil filter in place.

What Your Oil Filter Does

Your oil filter removes those impurities before the oil can make its way to your engine. It also eliminates any contaminants that your oil collects on its way through the many engine parts. In time, though, even the highest quality oil filter will eventually get clogged up or degrade to the point where it can no longer effectively do its job. That's not good.

When to Change Your Oil Filter

Your owner's manual has the recommended maintenance schedule, but you generally only need to change the oil filter every other time you have your oil changed. However, if you note any of the following signs, your filter likely needs to be replaced:

• The engine begins to sputter
• The low oil pressure light comes on
• Your engine performance starts to suffer
• You hear metallic noises coming from your engine

When it is time to replace your old oil filter, you want to be sure to use the right one for your Toyota vehicle. Only genuine OM oil filters are guaranteed to be compatible with your model, ensuring the tight seal that you and your engine need.
