Firestone Oil Filter, circa 1955
01
Artifact Overview
Oil filters are designed to remove dirt, debris and contaminants from an automobile engine's lubricating oil. They extend the life of the oil and reduce wear and tear on engine parts. Oil filters must be changed regularly, often at the same time the oil itself is changed, but modern filters have longer service lives.
