Oil Filters

To ensure smooth operation in all parts of your BMW, one of the best things to do is to change out filters regularly. This includes your oil filter. You change your vehicle's oil on a routine basis, and you should make sure that you replace the oil filter at the same time so that it doesn't become clogged. There can, however, be signs that you might need to change out this filter sooner versus later. You might see the check engine light come on, which is caused by debris in the oil making their way to the engine. The issues with the engine can start to wear out, which triggers the light. Overheating in your vehicle is something that can be caused by your oil filter not sending enough oil to engine parts, causing them to rub against each other without lubrication. Faulty oil filters can burst or rupture as well, causing leaks into the oil pan or out onto the ground underneath your car. These are just a few signs that you might need to replace your oil filter ahead of schedule. It's important to try and keep up with regular maintenance of this part and change it at regular intervals to prevent problems before they start. Find OEM oil filters here at BMW of South Atlanta.
