Buick Enclave Oil Filters

Your Buick Enclave SUV's engine depends on clean motor oil to keep the many moving parts well lubricated and performing their best. Problem is, even the freshest motor oil comes complete with some impurities mixed in. if those make their way into the engine, they can begin to accumulate and cause trouble. Fortunately, your SUV came with an oil filter already installed before it even left the factory floor.

How Your Oil Filter Works

Motor oil flows through the filter on its way to the engine, allowing the oil filter to capture those contaminants before they can get to the engine. As the oil works its way through the engine, it also picks up any pollutants contained within. Those are removed as the oil makes it route back through the filter, ensuring that your engine continues running smoothly.

How to Spot a Failing Oil Filter

After a while, though, your oil filter will begin to either get clogged or degraded. When that happens, you need to replace it as soon as possible. Here are some signs that it may be time to change your oil filter:

• The engine starts sputtering
