a filter that removes contaminants from engine oil
What is an "oil filter"?
An oil filter is a part of a vehicle's engine that helps keep the oil clean. It removes dirt, metal particles, and other contaminants from the oil as it circulates through the engine. The oil filter ensures that only clean oil flows through the engine, which helps the engine run smoothly and prevents damage. Over time, the oil filter can get clogged with dirt, so it needs to be replaced regularly, usually when the oil is changed, to keep the engine in good condition and running efficiently.
