Detailed Product Description

WIX 51461 is engineered as a heavy-duty hydraulic filter for equipment that relies on clean fluid to maintain system performance. The enhanced cellulose media is paired with high-strength, corrosion-resistant materials, including durable center tubes and end caps, to help maintain sealing integrity and resist leaks under varied operating conditions. With a 32 micron rating and a 2/20 beta ratio of 24/43, this filter is built to support hydraulic cleanliness in service intervals recommended by the original equipment manufacturer.

This part cross-references NAPA Gold Filters 1461 and Baldwin BT365 for the same application. It is also commonly searched as a WIX 51461 hydraulic filter for Nissan hydraulic service and other heavy-duty filter applications.

What It Helps Address

• Hydraulic fluid contamination that can affect system performance
• Premature wear caused by dirt and debris in the hydraulic circuit
• Leak concerns related to aging or weakened filter construction
• Reduced flow from a restricted or overloaded hydraulic filter
• Service intervals that require an OEM-style hydraulic filter replacement

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify thread size, filter height, outer diameter, and system flow requirements before installation. The WIX 51461 uses a spin-on hydraulic filter style with a 1-12 thread, so matching the existing housing and service specifications is important for proper fit and sealing. Follow the equipment service procedure and replace the filter at the interval specified by the manufacturer.

Quality Assurance

WIX builds this hydraulic filter with premium media and high-strength components intended for long-lasting performance in heavy-duty service. The corrosion-resistant construction and leak-resistant sealing design support reliable operation in hydraulic systems that demand consistent filtration.
