It depends on the vehicle. We stock both aftermarket and original equipment oil filters. You can choose what you prefer. Some vehicles can use a common aftermarket oil filter, while for others it is strongly advised to use the factory-specified oil filter. Please get in touch with us if you have a question.
At Hoover Street Auto Repair, the correct oil type and filter that was used will be listed on your invoice. New car warranties require that your vehicle have an oil change within the specified time and mileage using the correct oil and filter. By Federal law, a dealership can not require you to return to them for vehicle maintenance. You can have your vehicle maintenance done at any qualified auto service center as long as the service is documented.
