Changing your oil and filter at regular intervals is a vital part of basic vehicle maintenance. But it’s important to consider all filtration points to protect critical spaces for strong performance and passenger comfort.
Just remember these three words to help you: Oil – Air – Cabin.
In this article, we share tips on:
- Oil filters for daily driving
- Oil filters for high mileage
- Engine air filtration
- Cabin air filtration
Oil Filters for Daily Driving
For everyday tasks like commuting to and from work or school or driving around town, you need engine reliability. Because daily driving presents its own challenges, you’ll want to change your oil and filter every six months or 10,000 miles.
Certain filters like FRAM Extra Guard® are designed specifically for this task.
This filter is ideal for daily driving and features SureGrip® technology for easy removal and installation. Extra Guard® meets all OEM recommended oil change intervals and works with both conventional and synthetic oils, providing protection for up to 10,000 miles.
Oil Filters for Road Trips and High Mileage Vehicles
If you’ve racked up a lot of miles or take frequent road trips, the chances of particle infiltration and engine stress increase. So, you’ll want to use an oil filter that guards against both.
FRAM Tough Guard® delivers premium protection with either conventional or synthetic oil. It is designed for vehicles facing longer trips and high mileage engines.
Full-Synthetic Advantages
It’s important to optimize your vehicle year-round for the longest possible service life.
Full-synthetic motor oil – along with the oil filters engineered for use with this oil type – increase the time between oil changes.
You can protect your engine for up to 20,000 miles with FRAM Ultra Synthetic® oil filters. This filter works with every oil type to trap fine particles and reduce friction and wear in any type of engine.
The Engine Air Filter – Another Protective Element
You’ll definitely want to remember your engine air filtration.
The engine air intake is the primary source for dirt and dust to enter your engine and cause problems. This means a quality engine air filter is vital because it’s the first line of defense against those harmful particles.
Installing a premium air filter like FRAM Ultra Air™ prevents threatening particles from reaching internal parts of an engine at 99% efficiency for up to 40,000 miles. Replacing your engine air filter at the proper intervals will improve horsepower, acceleration, airflow and overall performance.
Protect Your Passengers
Are you regularly replacing your cabin air filter? If not, here’s why you should.
Airborne contaminants can enter through your ventilation system and introduce particles into the cabin, exposing you and your passengers to dirt, dust, pollen and other allergens. That’s why replacing your cabin air filter is critical to keeping the air in the cabin clean and not overtaxing your HVAC system.
Replacing your cabin air filter is a quick and relatively easy job. Check out this handy installation guide to see how.
