Description
WIX Engine Oil Filter 51060 for AM General Cadillac Chevrolet GMC Hummer Isuzu - Free Shipping
The WIX 51060 is a full-flow spin-on lube filter designed to provide excellent engine protection for a wide array of passenger cars, light trucks, and SUVs. It utilizes an enhanced cellulose media that effectively traps contaminants like dirt, carbon, and metal particles, preventing them from circulating in the engine oil. This filter is engineered to meet or exceed OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) specifications for filtration efficiency and capacity. It often features an anti-drain back valve, which prevents oil from draining out of the filter when the engine is shut off, ensuring immediate lubrication upon startup. Its robust construction, including a durable canister and quality gaskets, ensures leak-free operation and the ability to withstand typical engine oil pressures. WIX recommends this filter for use with conventional, synthetic, or synthetic-blended motor oils for normal and severe driving conditions.
Highlights
- Enhanced Cellulose Media: Provides a high level of filtration efficiency, trapping a significant percentage of harmful contaminants (e.g., 99% efficient at 23 microns based on WIX's internal testing standards for similar filters).
- Full Flow Design: Ensures that all engine oil passes through the filter media, providing comprehensive filtration.
- Anti-Drain Back Valve: (Where applicable) Prevents oil from draining out of the filter when the engine is off, ensuring immediate oil pressure and lubrication upon cold start-up and preventing "dry starts."
- Durable Construction: Features a robust steel canister and double-rolled connections to withstand high oil pressures (burst pressure typically around 270 PSI). It also often has a corrosion-resistant coating.
- High Flow Rate: Designed to allow optimal oil flow (typically 9-11 GPM) to the engine, preventing oil starvation.
- No Bypass Valve (Internal): This filter typically does not have an internal bypass valve. In applications where a bypass valve is required, it is usually integrated into the engine block or oil filter adapter.
- OEM Compatibility: Engineered to meet or exceed the performance of the original filter installed on the vehicle, ensuring reliable fit and function.
- Wide Application Coverage: Fits a vast number of GM vehicles, including many models of AM General Hummer, Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Blazer, C/K series trucks, Express vans, GMC Sierra, Savana, and some Isuzu models, especially those with V8 engines like the 5.0L (305 ci) and 5.7L (350 ci) gasoline engines, and 6.2L/6.5L diesel engines.
