Oil filters should always be changed according to the vehicle manufacturers recommended service interval. Oil within the average engine has a capacity of 4.5 litres and is filtered approximately 240 times per hour while the car is running. LKQ Euro Car Parts only supply the highest quality of oil filters. All our filters comply with current block exemption regulation standards. Here are some useful dos and don’ts to bear in mind when fitting oil filters: Spin-on filters Do Remove the old oil filter sealing ring from the mounting face Ensure the mounting face on the engine is clean and free from any damage Make sure the centre threaded adapter is fitted correctly and undamaged Cartridge (paper element) filter Do Make sure the old seal has been removed from the groove in the filter housing ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓

Ensure the filter housing has been thoroughly cleaned Inspect for burns or sharp edges, ensuring there are none on the filter housing Make sure the correct sealing ring is fitted, if more than one is supplied Tighten according to the engine/vehicle manufacturers instructions. Don’t Re-use old sealing rings Fit damaged filters Overtighten the centre blot. ✓ ✓ ✗ ✗ ✗

DON’T FORGET ABOUT THE FUEL FILTER

Petrol and diesel fuel systems incorporate fuel pump and injectors which are very costly to repair or replace. Changing these filters on a regular basis can prove to be more cost effective. The rule of thumb is to change them every 12 months or 12,000 miles, whichever comes first. Petrol injection systems are particularly sensitive to dirty fuel, the contaminants will cause serious wear of some of the injection system components. Diesel filters are also very important as they have to protect the fuel pump and injectors from abrasive particles and droplets of water often found in diesel. So, it could be costly for your customer if it’s forgotten.
