Oil Filtration

It takes the average contractor 15 to 20 minutes to change an oil filter on any vehicle in their fleet. This monetary investment can add up over time. But when paired with a premium WIX Heavy Duty filter, it’s much more cost effective than replacing your equipment.

Oil is the life-blood of any vehicle, and this holds particularly true of heavy duty and off-road equipment. Many operators tend to take their oil filtration for granted. However, this small and inexpensive portion of their overall system plays a vital role in protecting their engines from premature wear and potential failures.

The base plate on all WIX HD oil filters are manufactured with a standard .155-inch thickness and boasted the most consistent design within the Benchmark Study. This thicker standard base plate assures:

• Consistent thread strength
• Easier thread engagement
• Positive inner-element support- seal area
• Consistent gasket compression
• Positive filter performance for optimal engine protection

The WIX HD oil filter, glass-filled, nylon element supports are designed to resist all fluid types, vibration, high and low temperatures and will not deform under constant spring-load pressure. This maintains a positive seal and ensures that no fluid will bypass under all operating conditions.

The inner elements of HD oil filters are exposed to a wide variety of fluctuations in flow and pressure. WIX HD oil filter center tubes are purposely “over-engineered” for these reasons and to assure overall system protection.
