Wix 57051 Engine Oil Filter

Reliable Engine Oil Filtration for Heavy-Duty Vehicles

The Wix 57051 engine oil filter is designed to provide dependable filtration for heavy-duty applications. Engineered with cellulose media and a spin-on lube filter style, it supports efficient oil flow and protection for engines requiring robust filtration solutions.

• Heavy-duty (Hd) class and duty type for demanding engine conditions
• Cellulose media material with 10 micron filtration rating
• Spin-on lube filter style with a thread size of 92x2 mm
• Closed inner diameter top and 4.650 inch outer diameter top
• Height of 10.501 inches and burst pressure rated at 300 psi
• No anti-drain back valve or bypass relief valve setting
• Beta ratio of 2/75=10/30 for effective contaminant removal

The Wix 57051 engine oil filter is built to meet the filtration needs of heavy-duty engines, particularly in commercial trucks and industrial vehicles. Its cellulose media captures particles down to 10 microns, helping to maintain engine oil cleanliness and extend engine life. The spin-on design allows for straightforward installation and replacement, while the robust construction supports a burst pressure of up to 300 psi, ensuring durability under high-pressure conditions. The absence of an anti-drain back valve and bypass relief valve indicates this filter is optimized for systems where these features are not required or are managed elsewhere in the engine design.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Helps prevent engine wear caused by contaminants in oil
• Reduces risk of oil starvation in heavy-duty engines
• Supports consistent oil pressure by maintaining flow integrity
• Protects against premature engine component failure
• Suitable for vehicles requiring a 92x2 mm thread size spin-on filter

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the engine is cool before removing the old oil filter to avoid burns. Verify the thread size matches the engine’s filter mount (92x2 mm). Lubricate the gasket with clean engine oil before installation to ensure a proper seal. Tighten the filter according to manufacturer torque specifications to prevent leaks. Since this filter does not include an anti-drain back valve, consider the engine’s oil system design to avoid oil drainage during shutdown.
