Technical Details and Performance Attributes

The Wix 51034 oil filter features a beta ratio of 2/20=6/20, indicating its ability to filter particles effectively at 21 microns. The enhanced cellulose media material balances filtration efficiency with flow rate, maintaining engine oil cleanliness without restricting oil flow. The filter’s burst pressure rating of 320 psi ensures it withstands high-pressure conditions within the engine. The anti-drain back valve prevents oil from draining out of the filter when the engine is off, reducing wear during startup. This spin-on lube filter has a closed inner diameter top and a thread size of 3/4-16, compatible with various engine designs.
