WIX Spin On Oil Filter

The WIX spin-on heavy duty oil filter features a filter media to provide a more than adequate filter area. The element also has a controlled porosity blended media to assure complete filtration of the oil. Its spiral-wound center tube provides internal element support and the spiral design greatly reduces initial flow restriction when compared to other designs. A 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. The filter canister encloses the assembly with a mechanically-locked double seam. It provides "flutes" at the closed end for ease of removal with an oil filter wrench. Finally, the silicone anti-drain back valve stays flexible in extreme temperatures, improves oil flow and keeps oil in filter to prevent engine destroying dry starts. It also provides lasting protection to meet new vehicle manufacturers longer recommended oil change schedules.
