What Is the Function of an Oil Filter?

An oil filter's main job is to keep your Nissan's engine healthy by removing contaminants like dirt, sludge, and metal before they can cause wear and tear. This reduces friction and ensures that only clean oil lubricates the moving parts. Think of your oil filter as the kidney of your vehicle, filtering out impurities that build up as the oil circulates and protects the bearings and pistons, allowing for smoother operation and a longer engine life. If the oil filters aren't replaced regularly, it can lead to eventual engine failure, making a much larger dent in your budget.

How Often Should You Replace Your Oil Filter?

It's recommended that you have the oil filter in your Nissan every 5,000 to 7,000 miles or twice a year, depending on your specific model and your regular driving conditions. It's also a good idea to have the oil filter changed every time you change your oil. If you take frequent short trips in extremely dusty conditions, do a lot of towing or off-road driving, you should consider having your oil filters changed more frequently. Newer Nissan models may need longer intervals between replacements, but always be sure to check your owner's manual or consult with your technician at the Capitol Nissan service center.
