Engine overheating: A clogged oil filter prevents oil from flowing freely through the engine, which can lead to overheating as the engine isn’t properly lubricated.
Increased wear and tear: A blocked oil filter leads to contaminated oil circulating, increasing friction and causing premature wear on engine components.
Complete engine failure: In severe cases, a blocked oil filter can starve the engine of oil, which can cause the engine to seize and fail.
