Description:
The WIX Spin-On Lube Oil Filter 51042 delivers reliable filtration and engine protection for a broad range of GM vehicles, including Chevrolet, Buick, and Cadillac (1975–2012). This full-flow, spin-on filter uses enhanced cellulose media to efficiently capture contaminants while maintaining steady oil flow and pressure. The anti-drain back valve prevents oil from draining during engine shutdown, reducing startup wear, while the robust construction with a 320 PSI burst pressure rating ensures dependable operation under high-temperature and high-load conditions. Engineered to meet or exceed OEM standards, the WIX 51042 provides clean oil and consistent lubrication for long engine life.
