Oil Filter Housing

An oil filter housing is a component in an engine that holds the oil filter in place. It’s typically a metal casing that connects the oil filter to the engine block, allowing oil to flow through the filter to remove contaminants before circulating back through the engine.

You should consider replacing the oil filter housing if:

1. Leaks: You notice oil leaking around the oil filter housing. This could be due to a faulty seal or gasket.
2. Damage: The housing is physically damaged, such as cracks or dents, which could affect its function.
3. Oil Pressure Issues: Problems with oil pressure or low oil levels might indicate issues with the housing.
4. Routine Maintenance: During major service intervals, it might be checked and replaced as a preventive measure.
