Detailed Product Description

The Wix 24071 engine coolant filter is a spin-on style filter designed to fit a range of heavy-duty vehicles requiring a Class Ha coolant filter. Its cellulose media captures particles down to 30 microns, helping to prevent corrosion and buildup within the cooling system. With a burst pressure of 200 psi, this filter withstands high-pressure environments common in commercial trucks and equipment. The flow rate of 3 to 6 gallons per minute ensures adequate coolant flow, maintaining engine temperature regulation. The filter’s compact size and 11/16-16 thread size make it compatible with many heavy-duty engine models, including those from manufacturers like Freightliner, Kenworth, and Peterbilt.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Prevents coolant system contamination that can lead to overheating
• Reduces risk of corrosion and rust inside engine cooling passages
• Helps maintain consistent coolant flow and pressure
• Protects water pumps and radiator components from debris damage
• Extends engine life by maintaining clean coolant circulation

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the engine is cool before removing the old coolant filter to avoid burns. Verify the thread size (11/16-16) matches your vehicle’s filter housing. Apply a thin layer of clean coolant or oil to the gasket before installation to ensure a proper seal. Tighten the filter according to manufacturer torque specifications to prevent leaks. Regular replacement intervals should be followed based on vehicle manufacturer recommendations or operating conditions.
