Pro-Tec By Wix Oil Filter (MPN: 169)

Advanced filtration technology for superior engine protection and performance.

Pro-Tec by Wix oil filters are engineered to provide exceptional dirt-holding capacity, holding more than 45 percent more dirt than leading national brands. The effectiveness of these filters is measured through particle size retention, dirt-holding capacity, and resistance to flow, ensuring optimal performance in various conditions. WIX filters utilize advanced media that captures nearly all particles larger than 25 microns, while also effectively trapping smaller particles, enhancing engine cleanliness and longevity.

Designed for automotive and light truck applications, these full-flow oil filters feature arch-pleated, prescription-blended media that minimizes initial restriction to oil flow. With a pressure drop of less than 2 PSI at a flow rate of 4 gallons per minute, they maintain efficient oil circulation even under normal operating temperatures. The robust construction ensures that contaminants remain securely trapped within the filter, providing added security between oil changes.

The Pro-Tec by Wix oil filter is a reliable choice for those seeking to maintain engine performance and protect against wear. Its design includes an anti-drain back valve and a filter bypass relief valve, further enhancing its functionality. With a micron rating of 21, this filter is suitable for a wide range of vehicles, making it a versatile option for automotive maintenance.
