Oil Filter

WIX HD oil filters feature a cellulose/poly/glass media with contaminant holding capacity that out performs many of their top competitors with contaminant removal as small as 8 micron. They are high strength and have corrosion resistant cans. The filter is designed for passenger cars, light trucks, heavy trucks and buses, and off-highway vehicles. SAE J806 tests prove that WIX oil filters hold 45% more dirt than the leading national brand.

• Arch-pleated, prescription-blended filter media - provides a more than adequate filter area. The element has a controlled porosity blended media to assure complete filtration of the oil
• Spiral-wound center tube - provides internal element support. The spiral design greatly reduces initial flow restriction when compared to other designs
• Coiled spring - ensures a constant load on the inner element to maintain the seal between the upper element end cap, the inner element support, and the mounting plate even during pressure surge situations
• Filter canister - encloses the assembly with a mechanically-locked double seam. The canister provides "flutes" at the closed end for ease of removal with an oil filter wrench
• Silicone anti-drainback valve - stays flexible in extreme temperatures, improves oil flow and keeps oil in filter to prevent engine destroying dry starts. Also provides lasting protection to meet new vehicle manufacturers longer recommended oil change schedules. Nitrile valves can harden and become ineffective over time
