Question 3

What happens if the oil filter on a 2023 Acura TLX is not replaced?

Accepted Answer

A loaded filter can open its bypass valve, allowing oil to circulate without being filtered. The engine can still receive oil, so the problem may not announce itself immediately. However, debris held by the filter can then travel with the oil instead of remaining captured. Replacing the filter with the oil helps avoid stretching a loaded filter across another service.
