Oil filters are the pieces that help clean your Ford's engine oil of debris and contaminants. They fit tightly to your oil hoses and prolong the health of your engine.

What an Oil Filter Does and Signs of Failure

Oil filters contain a steel cannister with packed cotton fibers known as filter media. With the several intake holes on the outer edges of the filter, the center hole is the exit port that flows into the engine. The filter media collects any metal and dirt contaminants that emanate within the oil flow. The filter must hold a tight fit for your engine in order to prevent oil leaks and engine overheating. They are simple to replace, and depending on your Ford model, suggested oil filter replacements range between 7,000 and 10,000 miles or every other oil change.

Signs that your engine's oil filter needs replacing will be visible, and sometimes audible. Over time, engine oil thickens in viscosity and contaminants can build up in the filter media which restricts flow. When this occurs, you're likely to experience:

Sluggish engine acceleration and performance

Dark exhaust smoke coming from tail pipe

Check engine light for overheating

Abnormal engine noises

Burning smells from engine compartment
