Technical Details and Specifications

The WL10041 oil filter utilizes microglass media, which provides superior contaminant retention compared to conventional cellulose filters. With a micron rating of 35.00, it effectively filters out fine particles to protect engine components. The filter’s burst pressure rating of 500 psi ensures durability under high-pressure conditions common in heavy-duty engines. Its spin-on design simplifies replacement, while the 2 1/4-12 thread size ensures compatibility with specific engine models. The filter does not include an anti-drain back valve or bypass relief valve, which is typical for certain heavy-duty applications where these features are not required.

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Wix WL10041 oil filter, ensure the engine is cool to avoid burns. Verify the thread size matches the engine’s filter mount (2 1/4-12). Apply a thin layer of clean engine oil to the gasket before installation to ensure a proper seal. Tighten the filter according to manufacturer torque specifications to prevent leaks. Since this filter does not have an anti-drain back valve, it is important to check oil levels after installation and initial engine start-up.
