Detailed Description
WIX built the 51789 for engines that need reliable oil filtration in severe-duty environments. The filter’s high-capacity media is engineered to capture contaminants while maintaining oil flow, and the anti-drain back valve helps reduce dry starts by keeping oil in the filter when the engine is off. With no bypass relief valve setting listed, this filter should be matched carefully to the specified application. The WIX 51789 is a practical choice for owners and technicians servicing equipment that depends on consistent lubrication, including truck, farm, and construction platforms. This part cross-references Fleetguard LF719 and Baldwin BT261 for the same application.
What It Helps Address
- Excess engine wear from contaminated oil
- Oil drain-back after shutdown
- Restricted flow in high-demand lubrication systems
- Leak concerns from worn or low-strength filter construction
- Short service life in heavy-duty operating environments
