How long do oil filters last?
Posted on October 30, 2024 | By wpcarsOn-average, you’re looking at about 5000 miles for a standard filter, or up to 10,000 miles for a synthetic oil filter or an extended-life variety of filter. That said, you’ll want to defer to your manufacturer’s recommendations when it comes to oil filter change requirements. With imported cars, especially German models, this is extremely important, as the quality engineering is going to be reliant on proper lubrication and regular care.
In most cases, in the course of your regular preventative maintenance this will mean that every other time you visit your oil filter will be changed out, but again, it ultimately depends on the make and model of the vehicle.
