GMC Canyon Oil Filters

The oil filter in your GMC Canyon pickup plays an important part when it comes to keeping your engine operating at peak performance. You see, just like your air filter, it's responsible for keeping contaminants from getting into the engine. Without it, the pollutants would quickly collect on the moving engine parts and inhibit performance. In addition, your motor oil would eventually turn to sludge and lose the ability to properly lubricate the many moving parts.

You see, fresh motor oil still contains impurities that are left over after the refining process. They need to be removed from the oil so that it can properly lubricate the engine parts. Motor oil also gathers pollutants as it makes its way through the engine. Your oil filter collects those as well. Unfortunately, though, even the best oil filter will get too blocked up or degraded to do its job properly. That can lead to problems.

Signs of trouble include:

• Weaker engine performance
• Metallic sounds coming from your engine
• The engine starts sputtering
• Dirtier exhaust emissions
