How often should you change an oil filter?
Why the oil filter should be replaced with every oil change, and what service intervals mean.
The short answer Replace the oil filter every time you change the engine oil.
Service intervals Many modern European cars use variable service intervals of up to 30,000 km or two years. If you do lots of short trips, towing or city driving, a shorter fixed interval is safer.
Choosing the right filter Match the filter by your exact engine code, not just the model name — two versions of the same model can use different filters.
