Installation Notes and Tips
Verify inlet and outlet size before installation, since this filter uses 1/4-inch connections. Confirm the filter orientation matches the fuel flow direction in the vehicle’s line routing, and inspect hoses and clamps for wear before placing the filter into service. For best results, replace the filter at the manufacturer-recommended fuel filter interval or sooner if fuel contamination is present.
Quality Assurance
WIX fuel filters are engineered for application-specific performance and are recommended for OEM fuel filter change intervals. The brand’s construction and media selection are intended to support reliable filtration across normal and severe driving conditions.
