oil filters

Motor debris catchers

Oil filters are devices that remove contaminants from engine oil, transmission oil, or hydraulic fluid.

They trap metal particles, dirt, and combustion byproducts that would otherwise damage engine components.

Most automotive oil filters are disposable cylinders replaced during routine oil changes: The mechanic recommended changing the oil filter every 5,000 miles.
