Wix 57101 Transmission Filter Kit

WIX 57101 Transmission Filter Kit

The WIX 57101 transmission filter kit is a spin-on transmission filter built for light-duty service and routine transmission maintenance. It uses cellulose media with a 15 micron rating to help capture fine contaminants that can circulate through the transmission fluid.

Compatible with select Saturn SC1, SC2, SL, SL1, SL2, SW1, SW2, and SC applications, this WIX transmission filter is a direct-fit service part for vehicles that use a 3/4-20 thread spin-on design. The WIX 57101 is also cross-referenced to NAPA Gold Filters 7101 for the same application.

Detailed Description

Filtration plays a central role in transmission maintenance, and the WIX 57101 is built to support that service with a compact spin-on format and a cellulose media element. Its 2/20 beta ratio of 15/31 reflects its particle capture characteristics, while the 3.610-inch height and 2.970-inch outer diameter top support proper fitment in the specified Saturn applications. This part number, 57101, is used across multiple aftermarket and OE-reference listings, making it a practical choice when replacing a transmission filter on Saturn SC1, SC2, SL, SL1, SL2, SW1, SW2, and SC models.
