Oil filter

The Oil Filter is a critical maintenance component for Tesla vehicles equipped with a lubrication system, specifically those using gearbox oil in the drive units. Unlike internal combustion engines, Tesla's oil filters are designed for the reduction gearbox that transfers power from the electric motor to the wheels. These filters trap metallic particles, debris, and contaminants from the gearbox lubricant, ensuring smooth operation and longevity of the drivetrain components. Regular replacement, typically during scheduled service intervals, helps maintain optimal performance and protects the expensive drive unit from premature wear.
