Wix WL10078 Engine Oil Filter

WIX WL10078 Engine Oil Filter

The WIX WL10078 is a spin-on engine oil filter built for Subaru and Toyota applications that call for dependable oil filtration and OE-style service intervals. It uses cellulose media, a 30 psi bypass relief valve setting, and an anti-drain back valve to help maintain oil flow during startup.

Key Features

• Spin-on lube filter design for routine engine oil service
• Cellulose filter media for everyday contaminant capture
• Anti-drain back valve helps reduce dry starts after shutdown
• 30 psi bypass relief valve setting
• Compatible with conventional, synthetic, and synthetic-blended motor oils
• Built for normal and severe driving conditions, including stop-and-go traffic, short trips, dirt roads, construction sites, and interstate travel
• Fits Subaru WRX, Subaru BRZ, Subaru Outback, and Toyota GR86 applications listed below

Detailed Description

WIX WL10078 is an engine oil filter engineered for OE-recommended oil change intervals, typically 3,750 to 10,000 miles and not to exceed 12 months. Its compact spin-on design measures 2.559 inches high with a 3.153-inch outer diameter and uses a 20 x 1.5 mm thread size. This filter cross-references Subaru 15208AA170 and Mobil 1 M1-104A for the same application.

For Subaru WRX, Subaru BRZ, Subaru Outback, and Toyota GR86 owners, the WL10078 provides a direct-service oil filter option for listed model years while supporting everyday driving and harsher duty cycles. The anti-drain back valve is especially relevant when the vehicle sits between starts or sees extended service intervals.

What It Helps Address

• Engine wear related to contaminated motor oil
• Oil drain-back that can contribute to dry starts
• Routine maintenance needs at OE-style service intervals
• Filtration demands from stop-and-go and short-trip driving
• Dust and debris exposure from dirt roads or construction areas

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify thread size, gasket sealing surface, and filter clearance before installation.
• Use the manufacturer-recommended oil change interval for the vehicle and driving conditions.
• Pre-fill only if the vehicle service procedure allows it.
• Confirm the correct application for your Subaru WRX, Subaru BRZ, Subaru Outback, or Toyota GR86 by year before service.
