OEM Kia Oil Filters

The engine in your Kia car or SUV is a marvel of engineering, but it needs clean motor oil running through it to keep all of the moving parts lubricated. Unfortunately, the refining process doesn't completely remove all contaminants from the motor oil. Add in the fact that the oil collects any impurities that are produced during friction between parts, and the oil can get blocked with pollutants and become less effective. That's why your vehicle has an oil filter.

What Your Oil Filter Does

The oil filter removes those impurities, keeping the motor oil clean and viscous as it courses through the engine. Eventually, though, even the best oil filter will get too clogged up or degraded to do its job. That's not good, since it impairs your engine's performance.

How to Spot a Bad Oil Filter

Signs of a failing oil filter include:

• A sputtering engine
• Suffering engine performance
• The engine makes weird noises
• Dirtier smoke coming from your exhaust
• Your oil pressure dash light comes on

Genuine Kia Oil Filters Are Your Best Option

If you don’t notice any of these symptoms, check your owner's manual for your recommended maintenance schedule. You should expect to replace your oil filter at least every other time you change your motor oil. When you do need to replace your old oil filter, getting the right one for your model is essential. Your manufacturer makes their oil filters to fit their vehicles, ensuring the secure gasket seal and precise threading you want and need. Be smart.
