A History
of Excellence |
|
WIX is
well-known around the world for its innovative filtration products
for the automotive and light truck market. Founded in 1939, the
Gastonia, N.C., company earned acclaim during World War II when it
created an oil filter out of a paper tube, wooden plugs and yarn
when steel was in short supply. In 1954 WIX created the
revolutionary spin-on oil filter that was eventually adopted as
original equipment on most vehicles.
Today WIX
manufactures some of the best oil, air, lube, cabin air, hydraulic,
fuel, crank case breather and transmission filtration products on
the market. The company is also widely known for its support of
NASCAR. |

Superior
Construction |
|
WIX oil
filters have a full metal base plate for superior strength at the
double seal. They also feature a silicone anti-drainback valve that
stays flexible in extreme temperatures. This improves oil flow and
keeps oil in the filter to prevent dry starts.
WIX oil
filters use an up-front by-pass valve. This design is superior to
top-mounted valves because it helps to keep oil from washing past
dirty media and entering the engine. The glass-enhanced media in WIX
oil filters offers greater efficiency, capturing more 10 to 12
micron sized particles than other cellulose/synthetic blend medias.
They also have a coil steel spring to ensure internal filter parts
are sealed properly.
WIX panel
element air filters have a linear path through the filter for low
airflow restriction, a specially formulated adhesive to form WIX’s
exclusive pocket pleat for the filter media and a soft sealing
urethane gasket molded in place on the filter element.
Radial air
filters are constructed of mesh screen on the inside wall diameter
for element strength and media protection from backfire. Each round
filter is manufactured with heat-resistant plastisol with specially
designed crush seals on the top and bottom walls and adhesive seal
joining the media ends. Additional Filtration Products AMSOIL offers
WIX filtration products for auto/light truck and racing
applications. This includes not only standard air and oil filters,
but fuel, transmission, cabin air and filters specially designed for
racing as well. |

Fuel
Filters |
|
WIX fuel
filters provide unmatched fuel cleansing performance. They prevent
pump wear, injector clogging, premature engine wear and help boost
fuel efficiency. WIX fuel filters offer quick, easy filter
replacement, long life and the possibility of extended service
intervals. WIX spin-on filters reduce the possibility of improperly
installed cover gaskets, and they provide effective, easy draining
of excess water on filters equipped with the drain plug. The
superior materials, design and construction of WIX fuel filters
provide excellent performance under all types of operating
conditions. |

|
|
Transmission Filters |
|
AMSOIL will
also offer the full line of industry-leading WIX transmission
filters for passenger cars and light trucks. WIX transmission
filters provide superior protection for many transmission
applications in the auto/light truck market. |

Additional
Information |
|
WIX filters
are supplemental to AMSOIL Ea filters, but now AMSOIL will offers
WIX filtration products that cross to an Ea filter. With the
exception of WIX lube filters, all WIX filters should be changed in
accordance with original equipment manufacturer’s (OEM)
recommendations. WIX lube filter change intervals are extended OEM
recommendations to match the drain intervals of AMSOIL XL Motor oil.
