WIX Oil Filters provide excellent engine protection using conventional, synthetic, or synthetic-blended motor oils, as recommended by the OE vehicle manufacturer, for normal and severe driving conditions such as stop and go traffic, dirt roads, construction sites, short trips, and interstate travel. WIX filters are recommended for OEM oil and filter change intervals, typically 3,750 to 10,000 miles, not to exceed 12 months.
Features & Benefits:
Traps up to 50% more dirt and contaminants than Pro-Tec with the best combination of capacity & efficiency for severe conditions.
When applicable, WIX flexible silicone anti-drainback valve protects against dry engine starts past the traditional filter change interval.
Laboratory Test Performance per ISO 454812: dirt-holding capacity of 18 grams and 99% efficient at 23 microns (a human hair is roughly 70 microns in diameter)
