WIX oil filters play a vital role in in your vehicle's lubrication system, protecting your engine from premature wear. As gearheads know, every moving part in the engine requires clean oil! WIX oil filters trap more dirt than the leading national brand, and they keep filtering long after the competition has completely quit. WIX patented the first spin-on oil filter in 1954 and has been at the forefront of filter technology ever since. Canister-style oil filters feature strong, full-metal base plates to prevent leaks at the double seam under severe driving conditions. They also offer glass-enhanced media that improve each filter's ability to catch and hold engine-damaging dirt. Choose the WIX oil filter to fit your make and model-for a cleaner-running engine over many extra miles.

• 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
