WIX 51307 Engine Oil Filter

The WIX 51307 engine oil filter is built for dependable oil filtration in everyday driving and severe service conditions. It is compatible with conventional, synthetic, and synthetic-blended motor oils and is recommended for OE vehicle manufacturer oil change intervals.

Compatible With 1983-1992 Volvo 760, 740, 780, 940, 745, DL, and GLE, plus 2014-2015 Nissan NV350 Urvan applications listed below.

• Enhanced cellulose media for efficient contaminant capture
• 15 micron filtration rating
• Anti-drain back valve helps reduce dry starts when applicable
• Bypass relief valve setting: 8-11 psi
• Flow rate: 7-9 GPM
• Burst pressure: 300 psi
• Spin-on lube filter design with 3/4-16 thread size
• Recommended for normal and severe driving, including stop-and-go traffic, short trips, dirt roads, construction sites, and interstate travel

Filtration Performance

WIX designed this oil filter to trap more dirt and contaminants than Protec in severe-duty use, while balancing capacity and efficiency. The filter media is engineered for routine service intervals typically ranging from 3,750 to 10,000 miles, with service intervals not to exceed 12 months. The WIX 51307 is a practical choice for drivers maintaining Volvo 240, Volvo 740, Volvo 760, and Nissan NV350 Urvan engines that call for this filter size and thread pattern.

This part cross-references NAPA Gold Filters 1307 and FRAM PH9 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Engine wear from dirt, soot, and other oil-borne contaminants
• Reduced oil flow during cold starts or extended service intervals
• Premature filter restriction in stop-and-go or severe-duty driving
• Dry-start concerns after shutdown when an anti-drain back valve is needed
• Routine oil service on Volvo 240, Volvo 740, Volvo 760, and Nissan NV350 Urvan vehicles

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify thread size, gasket sealing surface, and overall filter dimensions before installation. Replace the filter at the manufacturer-recommended oil change interval, and prefill only when the engine and installation procedure allow it. For best results, match the filter to the vehicle’s OE service schedule and oil specification.

Quality Assurance

WIX publishes laboratory test performance data for this filter family, including ISO 4548 testing references and efficiency claims based on specified WIX applications. The 51307 is built to support OE-style maintenance intervals and severe-service filtration requirements.
