Wix 57092 Engine Oil Filter

WIX 57092 Oil Filter Overview

The WIX 57092 engine oil filter is built for Mitsubishi and Chrysler/Dodge applications that call for a spin-on lube filter with 20x1.5 mm threads. It supports conventional, synthetic, and synthetic-blended motor oils and is suited for normal service as well as stop-and-go driving, short trips, dirt roads, and other severe conditions.

For Mitsubishi Lancer, Eclipse, Galant, Montero, Montero Sport, Outlander, and 3000GT applications, this filter is sized for OE-style oil change intervals and consistent filtration performance.

Key Features

• Enhanced cellulose media for dependable oil filtration
• Anti-drain back valve helps reduce dry starts when applicable
• 21 micron rating with a 2/20-6/20 beta ratio
• Flow rate of 9-11 GPM for steady oil delivery
• Bypass relief valve set at 14 psi
• Burst pressure rated at 330 psi
• Spin-on lube filter design with closed top and 20x1.5 mm thread size

Detailed Description

The Wix 57092 is an engine oil filter engineered for OE-recommended maintenance intervals, typically 3,750 to 10,000 miles and not beyond 12 months. It traps dirt and contaminants efficiently while maintaining oil flow, making it a practical choice for Mitsubishi Lancer oil filter replacement, Mitsubishi Eclipse oil filter service, and Mitsubishi Montero oil filter maintenance. The flexible silicone anti-drain back valve, when used in applicable installations, helps keep oil in the filter after shutdown to reduce dry-start wear.

This part cross-references FRAM PH9688 and NAPA Gold 7092 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Dirty engine oil from normal driving and severe-duty conditions
• Wear from repeated cold starts and short-trip operation
• Oil contamination during stop-and-go traffic and interstate use
• Reduced filtration performance when service intervals are extended
• Oil drain-back after shutdown in applicable filter locations

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify the 20x1.5 mm thread size and spin-on filter style before installation.
• Replace the filter at the manufacturer-recommended oil change interval.
• Pre-lube the gasket and tighten according to the vehicle service procedure.
• Check for leaks after startup and confirm proper oil pressure.
• Use the correct oil specification for your Mitsubishi Lancer, Eclipse, or Montero service.
