GMC C3500 Oil Filters

The oil filter in your GMC C3500 pickup is responsible for keeping the motor oil clean as it works its way to your engine. Much like the engine air filter, it captures contaminants before they can make their way into the engine, gather, and cause trouble.

How Your Air Filter Works

Since even the newest motor oil still contains impurities that remained following the refining process, the oil filter traps them before the oil starts heading off to lubricate the many moving engine parts. That oil also gathers contaminants that have already collected in the engine, removing them to ensure proper performance. The filter removes those pollutants before the oil circulates through again.

Sadly, even the best oil filter in the world will eventually either get blocked up or wind up degrading over time. That's not good, since your engine can quickly become impaired as a result.

How to Spot a Failing Oil Filter

Signs of trouble include:

• The oil pressure dash light comes on
• Your engine starts to sputter
• You notice metallic noises coming from the engine
• You experience diminished engine performance
• Your exhaust emissions become dirtier
