Wix WL10106 Engine Oil Filter - Bypass

WIX WL10106 HD Oil Filter Overview

The WIX WL10106 is a heavy-duty spin-on engine oil filter built for demanding service in medium and heavy trucks, farm equipment, construction machinery, mining equipment, and other industrial applications. It uses enhanced cellulose media and a high-capacity filter design to support OEM oil and filter change intervals while maintaining reliable oil filtration under tough operating conditions.

With a corrosion-resistant can, center tube, end caps, and sealing components, this WIX oil filter is built for leak-resistant performance in high-load environments. It is a practical choice for owners and technicians servicing Volvo, Renault, Nissan, and other diesel and commercial platforms that use this filter specification.

Key Features

• Part number WL10106 heavy-duty engine oil filter
• Spin-on lube filter style with 1 3/8-16 thread size
• Enhanced cellulose media for high-capacity filtration
• Corrosion-resistant can, center tube, and end caps
• Leak-resistant sealing components for demanding duty cycles
• No anti-drain back valve and no bypass relief valve setting
• Compatible with applications using the WL10106 / cross-reference equivalents

Detailed Description

The WIX WL10106 is engineered for engines that operate under sustained load and extended service intervals. Its 10.382-inch height and 4.282-inch outer diameter support a large filter media package, helping capture contaminants in oil systems used by commercial trucks and off-road equipment. The closed top design and spin-on format make it a straightforward replacement where this filter specification is required.

This filter is commonly associated with Volvo and Renault diesel applications, and it also cross-references select Fleetguard and Baldwin part numbers for the same application. If you are sourcing an engine oil filter for Volvo or Renault equipment, or servicing a Nissan platform that calls for WL10106, this part number should be matched carefully to the original filter specification before installation.

What It Helps Address

• Engine oil contamination from soot, wear particles, and debris
• Reduced filtration capacity during extended service intervals
• Leak concerns caused by worn sealing components
• Filter durability issues in heavy-duty operating conditions
• Service replacement needs for Volvo, Renault, and Nissan oil filter applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the thread size, height, and outer diameter against the original filter before installation. Because this filter does not use an anti-drain back valve or bypass relief valve setting, confirm that the engine’s oiling system and filter mount are specified for this design. Pre-lubricate the gasket, tighten to the manufacturer’s service procedure, and check for leaks after startup.

For fitment-based searches, this part is used in applications such as Fits 2006-2011 Volvo FH, and Fits 2006-2011 Renault Magnum where the OE filter specification matches WL10106. It is also searched by technicians looking for a WIX WL10106 oil filter for Volvo and Renault diesel service.

Quality Assurance

WIX positions this HD oil filter line for commercial and industrial service, with construction focused on corrosion resistance, sealing integrity, and consistent filtration performance. The WL10106 is intended to support OEM oil and filter change intervals when installed in the correct application.
