Oil and Fuel Filters

Some of the most commonly counterfeited parts are those which are most frequently replaced, including light repair components such as fuel and oil filters. These filters prevent premature engine wear and failure by removing impurities from your oil and fuel such as carbon, sand, dirt and metal.







Counterfeit filters may have poor filtering elements that can be made from old rags, perforated food cans, and other materials. This could cause engine problems to your vehicle such as allowing sediments and particulates to pass through the fuel supply causing your engine to hesitate, stall, or even catastrophic failure. Some counterfeit filters have even been found to melt at a certain temperature.
