Tips Before You Buy

Confirm Fitment – Even if a part number matches, check specifications for your engine. Differences in bypass valves, media type, or internal construction can affect performance.

Replace Every Oil Change – Filters should be replaced with every oil change to maintain engine protection. Conventional oil filters generally last 3,000–7,000 miles, while synthetic oil filters can last 7,500–15,000 miles or more.

Consider Performance vs. Price – High-flow or synthetic filters provide better protection and longer intervals, but cost more. Standard paper filters may be adequate for regular driving.
