Oil Filters

High-quality oil filters are an inexpensive yet crucial piece in keeping the engine of your Lexus running smoothly and for a long time. The oil filter functions just as you'd expect, filtering out particles and impurities that naturally accumulate in the oil system over time. It is fitted in the oil filter housing together with a gasket and has several other pieces accompanying its whole construction. Swapping the oil filter together with the oil in set intervals described in your vehicle's manual will ensure that the engine is running at full power. Other signs of oil filter wear and tear can include reduced power on the road and lowered fuel efficiency.. The filter housing and other structural components could get damaged as a result of an impact, and if so happens it is imperative to replace them with OEM parts. Failure to do so can result in sudden oil loss, and unless you can stop immediately, your entire engine can be ruined. If the oil filter remains unchanged for far too long, it can clog, or worse disintegrate, sending parts as well as impurities through the system, which can cause engine failure. Here at Lexus of West Kendall, you can find all of the factory issued replacement parts for your vehicle, so shop now!
