Its enhanced cellulose media material efficiently filters particles down to 21 microns, helping to protect engine components from wear. The anti-drain back valve prevents oil from draining out of the filter when the engine is off, reducing wear during startup. The bypass relief valve activates between 8 and 11 psi, allowing oil to bypass the filter element if it becomes clogged, ensuring continuous oil flow and engine protection. With a burst pressure rating of 360 psi, this filter maintains structural integrity under demanding conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatible Vehicles and Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Wix 51344 engine oil filter is compatible with various makes and models requiring a 20x1.5 mm thread size and spin-on lube filter style.
