Detailed Description

WIX Part Number 57099 is engineered for conventional, synthetic, and synthetic-blended motor oils when the vehicle manufacturer specifies this filter style. It is recommended for OEM oil and filter change intervals, typically 3,750 to 10,000 miles and not beyond 12 months. The filter media is designed to trap dirt and contaminants while maintaining flow, making it a practical choice for stop-and-go traffic, short trips, dirt roads, construction use, and interstate driving. This part cross-references FRAM PH8873 and Purolator L15313 for the same application.

Vehicle coverage includes 2001-2006 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD, 2001-2006 Chevrolet Silverado 3500, 2001-2006 GMC Sierra 2500 HD, 2001-2006 GMC Sierra 3500, and 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD Classic and Silverado 3500 Classic. The WIX 57099 also appears in older OE-referenced applications such as 1992 Buick Roadmaster and 1981 Pontiac Firebird.

Common Problems This Filter Helps Address

• Excess dirt and debris in engine oil
• Oil drain-back after the engine sits
• Reduced filtration performance during severe driving
• Inconsistent oil flow from a restricted filter
• Premature wear from contaminated lubricant

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the thread size, filter height, and sealing surface before installation. Replace the filter at the same interval as the oil change, and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s service schedule for your Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD, GMC Sierra 3500, or other listed application. Pre-fill only if the engine and service procedure allow it, and lubricate the gasket before tightening to specification.
