Find an oil filter

Keep on top of an essential part of vehicle maintenance with an oil filter from the Autoparts product range. An efficient oil filter helps the oil in your car carry heat away from its combustion system, including pistons, cylinders and turbochargers, and an oil filter, including from prestigious names in engineering like Bosch, Ford and Nissan, helps ensure oil moves cleanly throughout the vehicle, preventing metal-to-metal erosion.

Find the oil filter for your vehicle in our Products section.

Vehicle care pays

A vehicle with a full service history is worth more when it comes to selling it, as it’s a sign of a vehicle that has been looked after and has had key components replaced at the correct intervals. Old parts on an unmaintained vehicle can strain other parts of the vehicle, making it less cost-effective to repair as it gets older.
