Description:
The WIX Spin-On Lube Oil Filter 51516 delivers dependable oil filtration and consistent lubrication for Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury (1981–2013), Chrysler, Jeep, and Mitsubishi (2002–2009), and various Mazda (1994–2016) applications. It’s also suitable for select industrial equipment powered by the Vulcan engine (VIN code U). Constructed with enhanced cellulose media, this full-flow filter effectively captures contaminants while maintaining steady oil pressure. The anti-drain back valve prevents oil from draining during shutdown to reduce wear on startup, and the 16 PSI bypass valve ensures proper flow under heavy load. Built for long-lasting durability with a 275 PSI burst pressure rating, the WIX 51516 meets or exceeds OEM standards for reliable performance in both automotive and industrial environments.
