oil filters

Wix 51061 =
Napa 1061

Every wix filter uses the same number as Napa but drops the first number.

The first number in Wix filters denotes what it is for.

3 series = fuel
4 series = air
5 series = oil

We buy thousands of filters a year and use Wix in our generator service business. From the biggest to the smallest machines.

When we are out and need one we just get one from Napa

I’ve been using the Wix racing filters for years.

The only feature that would be good on some applications is the nut on the bottom that K&N and Moroso features.

My oil pan makes it a struggle to get a strap wrench on a std round filter.

I modified a strap wrench....
