Chevrolet Equinox Oil Filters

Your Chevrolet Equinox has a factory-installed oil filter to remove any contaminants that are in the motor oil and keep it as clean as possible. That's essential if you want your engine to perform to its best capabilities day in and day out.

Even new motor oil contains impurities that need to be cleared out. Add in the fact that your motor oil removes pollutants from the engine as it works its way through to lubricate the many moving parts, and you can see why the oil filter is so important. If it didn’t remove these microscopic troublemakers, they'd eventually build up in your engine and start to cause problems.

How to Spot A Failing Oil Filter

Your oil filter will eventually break down with age, or get too obstructed to work properly. Signs of this include:

• You see dark smoke coming from the exhaust
• Your engine begins sputtering
• You notice impaired engine performance
• Your low oil pressure dash warning light comes on

Genuine OEM Oil Filters Work Best

Keeping to a consistent maintenance schedule and regularly changing your oil filter is the smartest way to keep your engine running at its peak. You can find your recommended maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, but in general replacing it every other oil change is advisable. When you do need to replace your old oil filter, you need to make sure that you choose one that's sure to fit and form a good seal. The ones made by your manufacturer are guaranteed to do just that, offering you peace of mind when purchasing.
