What Does an Oil Filter Do for a Honda Vehicle?

It captures the infiltrates that build up in motor oil. Whether you drive a Honda coupe like Civic, a Honda CR-V crossover, or otherwise, your vehicle has one. If it didn't, however, its oil pump would become stressed, and its bearings would likely wear out. As a result, many other engine problems would follow.

What are the Parts of an Oil Filter?

There are three: the filter medium, a housing (found in the engine bay, usually next to the engine cover), and a gasket. The housing holds the medium, and it attaches to the engine. The gasket is a rubber connector; external and internal filters alike have one, and it helps seal the filter, keeping motor oil from escaping.

Where Can You Access Your Oil Filter?

The entire assembly, you can get to most of the time from underneath the engine compartment, upon removing an undertray, if your ride has one. Some Honda models, however, make the filter accessible from above the bay. Check your owner's manual for more information on its location.

When Do You Change an Oil Filter?

Take care of it regularly, during every oil change. You can also do it during every other one. That's every 3,000 miles or every 3 months or so -- whichever comes first. Otherwise, whether in a Honda Pilot SUV, a Honda Ridgeline pickup, or another model, the same set of symptoms will tell you when it's going bad.

What are the Signs of a Failing Oil Filter?

Look for an engine oil warning light on the dashboard; it will accompany a loss of oil pressure. Your vehicle's engine may also begin to consistently not run as well. If you notice any of these, inspect the oil filter and swap it out for a new one if the results call for doing so. How to do it is easy, and generally the same whether you drive a Honda Odyssey minivan, a Honda Insight hybrid, or otherwise. When buying a new one, though, be sure it's the genuine article.

Why Buy a Genuine OEM Oil Filter vs. an Aftermarket?

Honda designs its parts custom-fit to its many vehicles, from everyday sedans like Honda Accord to popular sports cars like Honda Civic Si. It follows that a Honda oil filter will be your most reliable choice. An off-brand oil filter may not always fit quite right, and even if it does, it may not always be as reliable as a manufacturer replacement.
