Without the oil filter, your Subaru vehicle would quickly find that the oil pump, pump bearings, and other components are wearing out. That's why one was added before your Subaru left the factory floor.

What Do Oil Filters Do?

it's simple. They collect impurities from your motor oil. Some are leftovers from the production process, while others built up as the engine parts worked to produce the power you use to move down the road. The filter traps them in its fibers, working much like your air filters or fuel filters do to protect vital systems and parts.

Due to the nature of their purpose, though, oil filters won't last forever. They're bound to either get too clogged up or degraded to filter particulates effectively. When that happens, the material begins building up and causing trouble. That's why you need to replace yours regularly. Your owner's manual details your recommended maintenance schedule, but you should inspect your oil filter's condition every time you change your oil.
