Detailed Description

WIX 51360 is an engine oil filter engineered for heavy-duty lubrication systems where consistent oil delivery and dependable sealing matter. The enhanced cellulose media is paired with a 2/20 = 6/20 beta ratio and a 21 micron rating to help capture wear particles while supporting normal oil circulation. The anti-drain back valve helps reduce dry starts, and the 8-11 psi bypass setting supports oil flow if the media becomes restricted.

This filter is a practical choice for owners and technicians servicing equipment that uses the WIX 51360 format, including select Kawasaki, Suzuki, and Subaru applications. It cross-references NAPA Gold Filters 1360 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Oil contamination from normal engine wear
• Reduced oil pressure caused by a restricted filter
• Dry starts after the engine sits
• Leak concerns from worn or low-quality sealing components
• Service intervals on heavy-duty engines and equipment

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify thread size, gasket sealing surface, height, and outer diameter before installation. Pre-lubricate the gasket, tighten the filter to the manufacturer’s specification, and check for leaks after startup. For fitment-based searches, this part is commonly referenced for Kawasaki, Suzuki, and Subaru oil filter applications, including select Kawasaki 49065-2071 and Suzuki 16510-81420 cross-reference use cases.
