Advanced filtration technology for superior engine protection and performance.
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 filter media that captures and retains particles larger than 25 microns, while also effectively trapping smaller particles, enhancing engine cleanliness and longevity.
Designed for automotive and light truck applications, WIX full-flow oil filters feature arch-pleated, prescription-blended media that minimizes initial restriction to oil flow. This design results in a pressure drop of less than 2 PSI when filtering oil at a rate of 4 gallons per minute at normal operating temperatures. The robust construction of WIX filters ensures that contaminants remain securely trapped, providing added security between oil changes.
With a focus on quality and performance, WIX oil filters are built to meet or exceed manufacturer specifications. The filters are made from durable paper material and are designed with an anti-drain back valve and filter bypass relief valve, ensuring reliable operation. WIX filters are suitable for marine applications, making them a versatile choice for various engine types.
