Detailed Product Information

Wix 51970XD is part of the HD oil filter line, which focuses on filtration performance for equipment that operates under sustained load and harsh environments. The filter is built with a closed top, no anti-drain back valve, and no bypass relief valve setting, making it suited to applications specified for this configuration. Its 35-micron rating, B2=5 beta ratio, and 28-30 GPM flow rate reflect a design aimed at maintaining oil flow while capturing contaminants.

This part cross-references Fleetguard LF9333 and NAPA Gold Filters 1970XD for the same application. The Wix 51970XD is also referenced by part number 51970XD in Wix and Wix Europe catalogs.

What It Helps Address

• Excess engine wear from contaminated oil
• Reduced filtration performance in heavy-duty service
• Leak concerns from worn sealing components
• Filter breakdown under high-pressure operating conditions
• Service interval demands in commercial and industrial equipment

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify thread size, gasket sealing surface, and filter dimensions before installation. Confirm that the application calls for a spin-on lube filter with a closed top, no anti-drain back valve, and no bypass relief valve setting. Follow the equipment manufacturer’s oil change interval and installation procedure.

Quality Assurance

Wix HD oil filters are recommended for OEM oil and filter change intervals and use high-strength, corrosion-resistant components with superior sealing materials for dependable service.
