Detailed Product Description

WIX Part Number 57671 is engineered as a cartridge lube metal canister filter for engines that require a compact, high-efficiency oil filter element. The cellulose media is rated at 11 microns and uses a 2/5 beta ratio of 11/32, helping trap fine contaminants that can circulate through engine oil during normal operation. The bypass relief valve setting is 8, which supports oil delivery when flow conditions change.

This filter is suitable for routine maintenance on vehicles such as Honda Civic applications that specify this style and size of oil filter. It is also referenced by Baldwin P9603 and FRAM CH6096 for the same application. WIX 57671 is intended for OEM-recommended oil and filter change intervals, typically 3,750 to 10,000 miles and not beyond 12 months.

What It Helps Address

• Engine wear caused by suspended dirt and debris in motor oil
• Reduced filtration performance during stop-and-go driving
• Oil contamination from short-trip operation and frequent cold starts
• Maintenance needs for vehicles requiring a compact cartridge oil filter
• Routine service intervals on Honda Civic and similar applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the filter style, dimensions, and bypass setting against the vehicle service information before installation. Replace the filter during scheduled oil service and confirm the sealing surfaces are clean before fitting the new cartridge. For Honda Civic and other listed applications, follow the OE oil change interval and use the correct motor oil specification for the engine.

Quality Assurance

WIX filters are built for consistent oil filtration across normal and severe driving conditions, including dirt roads, construction areas, and interstate use. The filter construction uses corrosion-resistant components and sealing materials intended to support leak-resistant operation under demanding service conditions.
