The most important component of your engine oil system in your vehicle is the oil filter. It keeps contaminants from making their way through your engine, causing premature failure. Those small metal particles, if not trapped by the filter, would abrade all moving metal to metal connections within the engine, and wear out components quickly, leading to costly repairs. Filter out all of those terrible contaminants and make sure they do not get back in. If you are changing your filter, check ECS Tuning's website for high quality replacement lubricants. Pick up ECS Tuning's own magnetic drain plug to trap and capture shavings before they make it through your engine and to the filter.
