Detailed Description

WIX Part Number 51358 is engineered for OEM oil change intervals and is suitable for conventional, synthetic, and synthetic-blended motor oils when used as specified by the vehicle manufacturer. The filter media is designed to trap dirt and contaminants while maintaining oil flow, and the flexible silicone anti-drainback valve helps keep oil in the filter when the engine is off. The high-strength canister, center tube, and end caps are corrosion resistant and built to maintain sealing integrity in stop-and-go traffic, short-trip driving, dirt roads, construction sites, and interstate use. This part cross-references FRAM PH7317 and NAPA Gold Filters 1358 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Oil contamination from normal engine wear
• Dry starts after extended shutdown periods
• Reduced filtration performance during severe driving conditions
• Oil flow restriction caused by overloaded or aging filters
• Service intervals that follow OEM maintenance schedules

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the thread size, gasket sealing surface, and filter clearance before installation. Replace the filter at the manufacturer-recommended oil change interval, typically 3,750 to 10,000 miles and not more than 12 months, unless the vehicle OE schedule specifies otherwise. Always prefill only when the vehicle service procedure allows it, and check for leaks after startup.

Quality Assurance

WIX designs this oil filter for long-lasting sealing performance and dependable operation across normal and severe driving conditions. Laboratory testing referenced by the manufacturer shows strong dirt-holding capacity and high filtration efficiency at fine particle sizes.
