Roles of oil filters
Oil filters are designed to remove contaminants (sludge of metal powder and carbon powder etc) caused by engine rotational movement, and to prevent engine abrasion by making clean oil pass.
Why do we need to exchange oil filters?
If oil filters have not been exchanged for a long time, loading of filters will occur.
Then, as oil flow turns to clog, relief valve will be forced to open to maintain the normal oil flow after exceeding resistance. Eventually, engine abrasion will be accelerated.

Therefore, a regular exchange is needed.
Features of NITTO's oil filters
By adopting the new development method of MW style, NITTO has succeeded in miniaturization and tends to increase. Comparing with former products, filtration area of MW style is increased more than 10%, and longer life of filters is realized for smooth oil flow.

Exchange oil filters and oil simultaneously
It is generally accepted that 100-500ml(a canister of juice) of old oil remains in the old oil filters. When only new oil is exchanged, oil life will be shortened as an oil filter is not exchanged simultaneously.

Therefore, please exchange oil filter at the time of exchanging oil.

FAQ
How often do we need to exchange oil filters?
Exchanging oil filters at the time of exchanging oil is the best.
Exchange in interval under normal driving about 5000km is recommended.
Exchange about 3000km in the case of new cars is recommended generally.
How is the internal structure of oil filters?
Dirty oil flows into an inlet of oil filters and then through the filtering element.
After flowing through element the filtered or 'clean' oil flows into engine from outlet.
If oil filters have not been exchanged for a long time, the element shall be loaded. If oil filters turn to clog, relief valve will be forced to open to maintain the normal oil flow. Then, engine abrasion will be accelerated.
But this situation is unable to be seen from outside of oil filters. Therefore, a regular exchange is needed.
