Oil Filters

You might remember that changing the oil in your Kia is a part of routine maintenance, but what about your oil filter? Changing both is extremely important to do at the same time because your oil filter contributes greatly to your vehicle's performance! The filter is made of fabric and paper that works to trap particles and debris, which prevents them from circulating inside your car's engine. Particles can start to build up on the filter and cause damage to other parts if you are not replacing it on a regular basis. The filter can become clogged. That's why changing the filter on a routine basis is so important. You don't want there to be additional issues that happen to your car's engine, because these can be a lot more expensive and time consuming. Make sure you check your owner's manual and see the recommended time frames for changing both parts and know some of the signs that you might need a new one sooner. Sputtering performance when it comes to your engine or loud noises can be signs. An increase in engine exhaust or darker colors of exhaust can point you to issues as well. OEM oil filters are going to be the best option when it comes to maintaining your Kia's performance, so shop for them here on our site!
