2013 Ford Transit Connect Oil Filter in Fort Worth, TX

The filter collects debris carried by engine oil and can load over time. When that happens, its bypass valve opens and oil circulates without filtration. The manufacturer's maintenance schedule and the vehicle's service history determine the broader maintenance timing.

• Filter matched to the 2.0-liter inline-four engine
• New applicable drain plug gasket or washer
• Leak check at the filter seal after the engine runs

The filter is selected for the engine actually fitted to the 2013 Ford Transit Connect. After installation, the technician runs the engine and checks the filter seal for leaks. The filter is replaced alongside the oil so the fresh oil is not sent through a loaded filter.

• Filter matched to the engine's specification
• Drain plug gasket or washer where the engine uses one
• Inspection for leaks at the filter seal

The engine can still receive oil, but it may no longer receive filtered oil. Drivers may first notice an oil-pressure warning, a noisier-than-usual engine, or oil that darkens quickly after a change. An inspection and the vehicle's service history help determine the appropriate next step.

• Loaded filter media
• Bypass valve opening
• Oil circulating without filtration

Filters are not interchangeable across engines because fit and application depend on the engine. David McDavid Ford can identify the filter matched to the engine actually fitted without relying on a universal filter. The service also includes checking the filter seal after the engine has run.

• 2.0-liter engine displacement
• Inline-four cylinder layout
• Filter application matched to this engine

The filter holds debris that the oil carries away, and a loaded filter may open its bypass valve so unfiltered oil circulates. Replacing the filter with the oil avoids carrying the used filter into another oil service. The manufacturer's schedule and the vehicle's service history determine other maintenance decisions.

• Fresh oil works with a fresh filter
• Debris capture is renewed
• Filter seal can be checked for leaks
