The oil filter keeps contaminants from making their way through your engine and causing premature wear and possible 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. Filter out all of those terrible contaminants and make sure they do not get back in. This is the standard size filter.

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 trap and capture shavings before they make it through your engine and to the filter.
