How often does an oil filter need to be changed?

Much like engine air filters and cabin air filters, engine oil filters are a normal part of vehicle maintenance that need to be changed at regular intervals. It is generally recommended to change a vehicle’s oil filter every time an oil change is done, usually every 5,000 - 8,000 km, or every three to five months depending on driving conditions or the type of oil used. Consult your owner’s manual for a precise vehicle maintenance schedule.

An oil filter for a car or truck is a relatively inexpensive part that can prevent a lot of damage to an engine, and save you lot of money down the road. A clogged oil filter can allow debris directly into the engine, potentially causing major damage that can be difficult and expensive to fix.
