Oil Filters

Before the oil reaches your vehicle’s engine, it has to pass through the oil filter. This filtration process is called full-flow, and it is designed to remove all of the unwanted entrants, such as metal particles, carbon and dirt, before they can get to your engine. If these entrants were to reach your engine, they could cause some serious damage. Luckily, your oil filter is there to prevent this damage from occurring, and it helps to prevent premature wear in your engine. After a while, the filter can become clogged or obstructed. An oil filter has bypass valve so that the engine can stay properly lubricated if it becomes clogged, but this will allow dirt and other things to get into your engine. Changing your oil filter regularly will ensure that your vehicle gets the clean oil that it needs to run properly. 

Most manufacturers suggest that you change your oil filter with every other oil change, or every 6,000 - 15,000 miles, but to be safe, check the owner’s manual in your vehicle for the specific recommendations. It’s also important to note that many mechanics and oil filter manufacturers suggest that you replace your oil filter every time you get an oil change.  When you need oil filters for your Nissan, you need Conicelli Nissan!
