To determine whether the oil filter needs to be replaced, the following aspects can be considered:

1、 Determine Whether the Oil Filter Needs to be Replaced Based on the Oil Condition  

Observe the color and impurities of the engine oil: If the engine oil becomes very black or has obvious impurities and sediment, this may be a signal of poor filtering effect of the oil filter. When changing the engine oil, the cleanliness of the old oil can be observed to determine the filtering effect of the filter.

2、 Check the Appearance of the Oil Filter  

Observe the outside of the filter: Remove the oil filter and observe whether there is any obvious damage, deformation, color change, accumulation of oil dirt or impurities on the outside. If the filter is hit or squeezed, it may cause damage to its internal structure, affecting its filtering effect.

3、 Check the Oil Filter Replacement Cycle 

Reference replacement cycle: The replacement cycle of the oil filter is usually the same as that of the oil. According to the type of oil used, the replacement cycle can be determined based on the recommendations of the car manufacturer. For example, when using mineral engine oil, the oil filter  usually needs to be replaced every 5000 kilometers of driving; When using fully synthetic engine oil, the replacement cycle may be extended to about 10000 kilometers. However, please note that the specific replacement cycle may vary depending on the vehicle model and usage. It is best to refer to the vehicle manual or consult a professional.

4、 Determine Whether the Oil Filter Needs to be Replaced Based on Engine Performance  

Engine performance: If the engine produces abnormal noise, shaking, or insufficient power during operation, it may be caused by clogged or malfunctioning oil filters. At this time, the oil filter should be checked and replaced in a timely manner.

5、 Use Professional Testing Tools to Determine If the Oil Filter Needs to be Replaced  

Professional testing: Some repair shops or professional equipment can use pressure testing or flow testing to test the performance of oil filters. These tests can accurately determine whether the filter needs to be replaced.

Driving in harsh environments: If the vehicle is frequently driven in harsh environments such as high temperatures, humidity, or dusty areas, the service life of the oil filter may be shortened, so it may need to be replaced in advance.

Simultaneously changing the engine oil: In order to maintain the good operating condition of the engine, it is recommended to regularly change the engine oil and oil filter, and both should be changed at the same time to extend the service life of the engine.

In summary, determining whether the oil filter needs to be replaced requires comprehensive consideration of multiple aspects. Car owners should regularly check the condition of the oil filter and replace it in a timely manner according to the actual situation to ensure the normal operation of the engine and extend its service life.
