Are the Oil Filters of Civic and Fit Interchangeable? The oil filters of Civic and Fit are interchangeable. Oil Filter Material: The oil filter uses a paper-type material, where the filter element is made of specially treated paper, usually microporous filter paper treated with resin. Oil Filter: Car oil filters are not universally interchangeable, but generally, oil filters within the same car series are interchangeable. Different car models have different oil filter specifications. Forcing an incompatible oil filter into place can damage the engine and, in severe cases, lead to traffic accidents. Function of the Oil Filter: It filters out debris, gum, and moisture from the oil, delivering clean oil to various lubrication points. To reduce friction resistance between moving parts in the engine and minimize component wear, oil is continuously delivered to the friction surfaces of moving parts, forming a lubricating oil film for lubrication. The oil itself contains a certain amount of gum, impurities, moisture, and additives.
