Description
Wix 51515 Engine Oil Filter for FORD Lincoln Mercury - Free Shipping
The Wix 51515 is a widely recognized and utilized spin-on engine oil filter designed to provide reliable and efficient filtration for a vast range of gasoline engines, particularly those found in Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles. Its primary function is to effectively remove harmful contaminants such as dirt, carbon, metallic particles, and sludge from the engine oil. By ensuring that only clean oil circulates through the engine, the Wix 51515 helps to minimize wear and tear on critical engine components (like bearings, camshafts, and lifters), maintain optimal lubrication, reduce friction, and ultimately extend the engine's lifespan and performance. It's known for its robust construction and high-quality filtration media, meeting or exceeding OEM standards.
Highlights
- Broad Application: Extremely common and versatile, fitting a very wide array of Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury cars, trucks, and SUVs, as well as many other makes and models.
- High Filtration Efficiency: Utilizes a high-quality filter media (typically a blend of cellulose and synthetic fibers) to effectively capture a wide range of oil contaminants, down to small micron levels.
- Spin-On Design: Features a convenient spin-on canister, allowing for straightforward and relatively quick installation and replacement during routine oil changes.
- Engine Protection: Provides critical defense against abrasive particles and sludge, thereby safeguarding sensitive engine components from premature wear and damage.
- Optimized Oil Flow: Engineered to maintain proper oil flow while maximizing filtration capacity, which is essential for consistent lubrication and cooling, especially under varying engine loads and temperatures.
- Durable Construction: Made with strong, corrosion-resistant components, including a sturdy outer casing, strong internal pleats, and reliable seals, to ensure leak-free and long-lasting performance.
- Anti-Drain Back Valve: Includes a silicone anti-drain back valve, which prevents oil from draining out of the filter when the engine is shut off. This ensures immediate oil pressure upon startup, reducing wear during critical cold starts.
- Bypass Relief Valve: Incorporates a bypass relief valve. This valve is a safety mechanism that opens if the filter becomes clogged or if oil viscosity is too high (e.g., during cold starts), allowing unfiltered oil to reach the engine to prevent oil starvation.
- OEM Quality Equivalent: Designed to meet or exceed the performance specifications set by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), ensuring reliable and effective filtration.
- Filter Style: Spin-On Lube Filter
- Service: Lube (Engine Oil) - Primarily Gasoline applications
- Duty Type: Standard Duty (though robust for its applications)
