Technical Details and Performance Attributes

The Wix 57937 oil filter features a BetaRatio of 2/75=20/40, indicating its filtration efficiency and contaminant retention capabilities. The filter’s enhanced cellulose media is engineered to trap particles as small as 32 microns, helping to protect engine components from wear.
