OEM Lincoln Oil Filters

In order to operate properly, your engine relies on clean motor oil to run through it and lubricate the various moving parts. Sadly, even fresh motor oil is still tainted by impurities that could cause trouble inside your engine block. That's why your Lincoln car or SUV boasts an oil filter.

What Your Oil Filter Does

The oil filter removes those contaminants in the motor oil before it heads off to your engine. Since oil also collects any other microscopic troublemakers that are in the engine parts, the filter also collects those before the oil can cycle back through. Eventually, though, even the best oil filter will eventually get clogged or begin to degrade. That can lead to trouble if you don't act.

How to Spot a Failing Oil Filter

If you notice any of the following signs, go ahead and check to see if your oil filter needs replacing:

• The oil pressure dash light comes on
• Your engine begins to sputter
• You hear metallic noises coming from the engine
• Your engine performance suffers

One way to avoid problems is to set a routine schedule for changing your oil filter. You don't have to replace it every time you change your oil; instead, doing it at every other oil change should suffice. You do want to be sure to use the right oil filter for your engine, though. An aftermarket part that doesn’t form a proper seal can leak oil or even come completely free. A genuine Lincoln oil filter is guaranteed to be compatible with your model and its engine, ensuring the correct fit you want.
