Question 4961

When must the oil filter in a vehicle be changed?

  1. When the vehicle manufacturer recommends it.
  2. Every six months or every five thousand kilometers.
  3. Every time the engine oil level is topped up.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: When the vehicle manufacturer recommends it.

Replace the oil filter when the manufacturer specifies in the maintenance manual. There is no fixed interval that applies to every car. Topping up the oil does not mean you have to replace it either, because you are only adding the oil that is missing. In the image, the driver consults the car's manual.
