When should you change the Mitsubishi Galant oil filter?

The engine oil change and oil filter replacement should be done annually or every two years, and at most every 20,000–30,000 km. In cases of severe use (constant short trips, repeated cold starts, frequent towing), reduce the interval.

Should you change the oil filter at every Mitsubishi Galant oil change?

It is strongly recommended to change the oil filter at every oil change. A clogged filter can no longer clean the oil effectively and, in extreme cases, the bypass valve opens allowing unfiltered oil to circulate.

Is it difficult to change the Mitsubishi Galant oil filter?

Difficulty level 2/5: technically easy. Key steps: warm the engine briefly, raise the vehicle, drain old oil completely, remove the old oil filter, lightly oil the seal of the new filter, fit the new filter hand-tight, refit the drain plug with a new washer, refill with fresh oil to the correct level.
