WIX oil filters

[dumbo]

Just changed my oil for the first time, i put a Fram filter on PH3614, thing is damn tiny. But i took off a WIX filter, never heard of before, but it is damn bigger, you guys no anything about them, i like how its bigger:love:, gonna try and find one for the next oil change, 5,000km away. thanks guys.

Yeah WiX is actually a really good oil filter.....now that you put a fram on it though......you can safely drive the car to the junk yard and park it there.

It seems as if you replaced the Wix filter(which was a larger S3600 series,) with the stock size filter. Both of which have the same mounting fitment, although the S3600 series has a longer body.

Because the filter was Wix didn't make the filter larger, unless you were talking about filament.

Fram = worst filter on the market

Wix = one of the best. Not sure where you'd get em up there...

Can anyone share the WIX part number that fits our car? A number that those that use autozone, or partsamerica.com etc could use to order online?

Thanks

I think its 51348?

I dunno, I'll let you know at work today, we sell them.

Also, wix is the best. Its plain and simple.

Edit it is 51348

51348 is the part # that wix web site gives me for our cars.
Rockauto has them for $4.12 ea. plus shipping witch is around $10. and shipping is about the same weather ording 1 or 12.

Napa sells them.

Wix 51515 is size-equivalent to a PH8 or Purolator 30001. Any Napa store will have the equivalent to the Wix under Napa Gold 1515.

It fits perfectly on a GE, but there may be interference on a stock GTE due to the goofy bracket.

Let your car sit overnight, then swap that Fram POS out for either the 30001 or 51515. Top off the oil after starting and your engine will thank you for it. You can swap a filter without draining the pan in about 2 minutes.

WIX 51348, $5.29 at O'reilly autoparts. (GTE) I dont know if GE is the same

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

51515 fits? Thats a ford V8 filter.

I think wix uses the same part number for Lexus V8's as 7mgte's, so Ill double check that too.

 

[adampecush]

in canada, you can get the wix filter through amsoil. Or just go buy the equivalent napa gold filter (same thing).

 

[topguncam3888]

Ford V8 filters fit our supras. I used Motorcraft FA-1 last oil change.

 

[dumbo]

wow, didn't expect this much input. i've ran fram on all my vehichle, just love the rubber grip really, figured all filters must me some minium requirement,

gonna try and track down a WIX today i start shift in the morning for 12days straight, thats like 1200kms in the next 12 days:icon_mad:

WIX filter off my car 86.5 7M-GE 51068, dunno bout GTE

You'll probably have to put < 1/2 quart back in the motor.

Get k&n or moblie one.....Fram bites from my personal experience. They burst under pressure. I have used fram Moblie one, and k&n, and the best construction seems to be K&N.

This should help make up your mind

Wix part # 51348 for a GTE 51068 for a GE
NAPA Gold # 1348 or 1068

Wix filters are not available through any Autozone. The 'best' normal filter they carry is a Fram. After that you have to buy the much more expensive K&N or Mobile One. Neither of which really outperform the Wix for the money charged for them.

I used a WIX filter and that piece of shit burst under pressure also. That thing has nothing on Moblie one or K&N. You want cheap go ahead and buy cheap, but don't spread bullshit untruths about how they are apples to apples and for the price you should get the WIX. Filtering it may be ok but you want something that will not fall apart either. I was lucky that I was not drivng on the highway when this happen but was local. regardless its a bitch to have o hunt don real oil fiters like K&N or Mobile one. Again the best filter I have used in contruction was the K&N, and next the Mobile one. I will buy K&N first then Moblie one or nothing at all. Oh yeah I have yet to get the Moroso reccomended by IJ.

you've never read the link posted by jdub then... and if your blasting apart oil filters, i would be more concerned with why it happened in the first place.
