WIX 51069R filters
 

looking for a reasonably priced source for Wix 51069R filters any body got one ???

Re: WIX 51069R filters
 

Amazon.com has them for 9.99 each or eBay has case of 12 for $100. http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewi...id=35871290644

I buy mine from summit. Napa has them also but higher price.

Re: WIX 51069R filters
 

I think O'Riellys carry's them. Or get the NAPA gold, it's the same filter!

Re: WIX 51069R filters
 

I get the cases on eBay from the seller shown here on eBay and have had good luck with them.

Re: WIX 51069R filters
 

I've had good luck with "www.filter1.com" over the years and they have these WIX filters shown for $7.91 each. And if your order is over $50, they have free shipping.

Try: www.discountfleetsupply.com

Re: WIX 51069R filters
 

Filter1.com you will find all Wix listed cheap

Re: WIX 51069R filters
 

The NAPA gold isn't a racing filter.

Re: WIX 51069R filters
 

The last time I purchased them they were $7.47 each at rockauto.com.

Re: WIX 51069R filters
 

according to NAPA ,yes they are. ....NAPA Gold part numbers ending with "R", Features & Benefits
High Performance Racing Filter w/ T-71 Racing Media That Lowers Restriction & Increases Horsepower; Use For Racing Applications Only - Not For Street Use
$8.15 @ NAPA.

Re: WIX 51069R filters
 

The Wix Racing filters are part of the NAPA gold line. I believe if you do a search for a NAPA Gold Racing filter it comes up as the WIX Racing 51069R as the example above. Just a regular NAPA Gold filter is not a racing filter.

Re: WIX 51069R filters
 

The NAPA gold is not a racing filter but the R filter has a bigger micron rating which lets bigger particles through which is not a good thing on a performance engine, Ya it flows 35 gallons a minute what oil pump moves 35 gallons a minute ??

I have always used the 1061 NAPA gold on a my circle track engines with the bypaas plugged and zero issues.

thanks for all the replies ---will check out those suggestions---FED387

Re: WIX 51069R filters
 

Sorry, just noticed the "R"! Duh!

Re: WIX 51069R filters
 

You are right about the Napa Golds crossing with the Wix filters if it wasn't for the "R." You could drop the 5 off the 51069 and get the Napa one with the 1069. I think it is how it works.

Oh man........... Now I am all turned around... 8-}

Re: WIX 51069R filters
 

We buy all our filters from Filter1....Much cheaper than any other supllier we have used over the years and we buy thousands of dollars worth of filters. Big filters for big engines are not cheap! Especially air filters...

We get them UPS'ed every day.....

Napa prices are way higher...

and yes Napa filters are made by wix....

Same part number minus the prefix...

Wix adds a prefix
5 is oil
4 is air
3 is fuel

So drop the prefix and thats the Napa number....

R suffix is racing filters
We buy the 51061R's......full length filter
I think the 51069R is the shorter filter.....

51060 and 51061 are similar....One has anti drain back valve that is easy to see right thru the holes at the top.......for filters mounted horizonatlly....51060 has it if I recall right...Not needed for a std filter mounted on the block vertically....

Re: WIX 51069R filters
 

Anyone know the part # for the Wix "race" oil filter for a small block Olds (350)? I have run the Wix # 51258 and the NAPA GOLD # 1258. I would like to check out the Wix Race filter. I do need the short filter (4.338")for header clearance..... TIA

Re: WIX 51069R filters
 

Rally Bob-- WIX does not have a corresponding racing filter for your Olds!!!! You could try a filter for a Chevy but WIX does not recommend it!!! maybe you could put a remote filter in solve all your problems of space and filter availability---just a suggestion FED387

Re: WIX 51069R filters
 

K&N has a PS2003 filter for an Olds application you might look into that one---FED387

Re: WIX 51069R filters
