Warranty Filters

Carquest (“we,” “us,” or “our”) filters are warranted to be free from manufacturer’s defects in material, workmanship, or design in accordance with the terms and conditions described below. Our automotive filters are manufactured to high quality standards and guaranteed to meet fit, form, and function in accordance with Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) and International Organization for Standardization (ISO) test procedures.

This limited warranty is effective for the number of miles and driving severity published in the owner’s vehicle manual as the recommended service interval for filter replacements (“Warranty Period”). We will replace, free of charge, any Filter which, under normal conditions of use, is proven to be defective in material or workmanship and is within the Warranty Period. If Carquest further determines, in our sole discretion, that the alleged defective Filter caused engine damage during the Warranty Period, we will also repair or replace any damaged engine parts.

New car warranties remain in effect when our filters are used in accordance to the engine manufacturer’s change intervals.
