Oil filters are essential because they keep the engine clean. They are critical to the performance of the engine. Oil filters trap dirt and debris that can harm the engine, such as carbon deposits. This can lead to premature wear, drive up maintenance costs and even cause breakdowns.
Advantages of the oil filter wrench
Avoid the mechanic. If you’re technically inclined, it’s much more convenient to change your oil at home than to make an appointment and visit your local repair shop. You can do the job yourself with the right tools, including a professional oil filter wrench.
Avoid frustration. Among the worst points that can happen during an oil change is discovering that the oil filter is stuck and you don’t have the right tool to remove it. The best oil filter removal tool will help you pull out any filter by giving you a firm grip.
Save money. Once you buy an oil filter removal kit, you will have it in your toolbox for years. The only price you will have is the oil filter and the oil itself. You will no longer have to pay a professional for his time.
Prevent damage. Don’t be the one who uses whatever tool is handy to change an oil filter. If you don’t use the right tool, you risk damaging your vehicle. The proper oil filter wrench will help with particularly greasy and stuck filters.
Choosing the right oil filter
Selecting the right oil filter for your vehicle is of utmost importance. Most oil filters look very similar, but minor differences in thread or gasket size can determine whether or not a specific filter is suitable for your vehicle. The best way to find out which oil filter you need is to consult your owner’s manual or a components catalog. Using the incorrect filter can cause oil to leak from the engine, or a poorly fitting filter can fall off. Both can lead to severe engine damage.
