How can i check my oil filter on my 94' Camry?

i went to ez lube to get an oil change but i noticed that my car was running sluggish after i left. the guy checked the fluids in front of me but im still convinced its something they did. is it possible that i can check my oil filter and how? Thanks in advance:)How can i check my oil filter on my 94' Camry?An oil filter can not make the car run sluggish. Did they play with the air filter like they always do? They might have reassembled the filter housing incorrectly. There's nothing funnier to me than watching those guys under the hood like they know anything about what they're looking at. Stay away from those places. Have someone else see that the air filter was re assembled correctly.How can i check my oil filter on my 94' Camry?Oil filters are not %26quot;checked%26quot;. They are routinely changed with every oil change. Look at it and see if it is clean and new looking. It will be on the bottom side of your engine.



Oil filters should not affect the way your car runs. They will affect the life of your engine.



It is more likely that someone accidentally pulled off a vacuum hose or a spark plug wire. Look under the hood and see if there are any dangling wires or hoses or if something is blocking the air intake on the air filter. See if there is something that just looks out of place. Get to know and love your engine. It is your friend.How can i check my oil filter on my 94' Camry?The wrong oil filter can cause you problems. It can burn out your oil pump but if you want to be sure , just get a factory filter from a dealer, drain the oil into a clean pan, change the filter and then put the oil back into your car. If the car runs like it did before the oil change then you are ok. you can do a visual comparison once the oil filter is out of your car before you install the factory one. It could be smaller or have less holes in the bottom restricting the oil flow. For 5-6 dollars you can save yourself allot of head aches.
