Detailed Description

WIX engineered the 51748XD for engines that operate under sustained load and frequent service intervals. The microglass filter media helps capture fine contaminants while maintaining strong flow characteristics, and the HD construction supports leak-resistant performance in severe-duty environments. This filter is commonly selected for equipment and vehicles in agriculture, construction, mining, and over-the-road trucking, including applications associated with Cummins, John Deere, Volvo, and New Holland Construction.

As a WIX HD oil filter, the 51748XD is built around durable sealing components and a robust metal canister to help maintain oil system integrity during long operating cycles. If you are sourcing a replacement for a heavy-duty diesel engine, WIX 51748XD offers a direct-fit style solution for many OEM oil and filter change intervals.

Common Issues This Filter Helps Address

• Excess engine wear from contaminated oil
• Reduced oil flow in high-demand diesel service
• Premature filter breakdown under heavy operating loads
• Leak concerns from weak sealing components
• Short service life in severe-duty equipment use

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify thread size, filter height, and sealing surface dimensions before installation. This is a spin-on oil filter with a 2 1/4-12 thread size and an 11.364-inch height, so confirm clearance in the engine bay or equipment housing. Pre-fill only if the engine manufacturer allows it, and always lubricate the gasket before tightening to the specified torque.
