Chevrolet Suburban Oil Filters
The oil filter in your Chevrolet Suburban plays an essential role in keeping your engine parts moving freely. Much like the air filter, it's responsible for keeping airborne contaminants out of the engine. If it didn't, those pollutants could quickly build up and begin to cause problems.
How Oil Filters Work
Since even fresh motor oil contains pollutants that made it through the refining process, you need the oil filter to remove those prior to the oil making its way through to your engine and lubricating the many moving parts. As a bonus, the oil filter also removes any pollutants that the oil collected on its way, keeping your engine free of microscopic troublemakers. Unfortunately, even the highest-quality oil filter will eventually degrade – if it doesn’t clog up with gunk first. That's not good, since it can't do its job as well as you'd like.
How to Spot a Bad Oil Filter
Fortunately, though, the signs of a failing oil filter are easy to recognize. They include:
- Worsening engine performance
- Metallic sounds coming from the engine
- Dirty exhaust smoke
How Often Do You Need to Change Your Oil Filter?
If you're not experiencing any of the symptoms above, consult your owner's manual for the recommended maintenance schedule. Generally, you can plan to replace your oil filter every other time you change your motor oil. When it’s time for a replacement, choose the best type for your SUV. That means choosing one made by your manufacturer, since they make the only ones you can trust to be compatible with your model. That ensures the tight gasket seal that you want and need.
