All About Kia Oil Filters
Even the freshest motor oil is still loaded with impurities -- crud that escapes the refining process, byproducts that friction between parts creates, and so on. The oil filter in your Kia helps to remove them from the oil, keeping it as clean as can be. The result: the engine in the car or SUV you love gets the lubrication its parts need, so it can keep running as best it can, as long as it can.
How Oil Filters Work
The process is simple. The oil pump first pushes engine oil into the oil filter's fibers. The fibers collect the contaminants, and clean oil gets pushed back into the engine.
Depending on what type you use, it may need to be replaced more or less often. However, any oil filter will eventually clog, degrade, or just wear out. If that happens, your engine will end up at risk of damage. Luckily, you can avoid problems by keeping an eye out for a few signs, and replacing the oil filter with one of the right thread pattern sooner rather than later.
Symptoms of a Faulty Kia Oil Filter
You'll know one from the smoke in your ride's exhaust being much darker than usual, from a low oil pressure light coming on the dash, and from sputtering or metallic pinging sounds coming from the engine. In any case, run an inspection to get a better idea of what's going on.
Otherwise, most oil filters get changed every 3 months or 3,000 miles or so, to the tune of $135 to $150 on average, according to recent RepairPal data on oil changes (which usually have to get done at the same time). Other cost factors include the Kia model you drive, what motor oil it runs on (conventional, synthetic, a synthetic blend, or high-mileage), whether you have to replace other parts (an oil cooler or a housing adapter, for instance), and what kind of engine your ride's got.
