WIX has the lowdown on dirt, and their Racing oil filters are ready to trap more dirt--45 percent more! Your engine needs lots of clean oil to get you across the finish line first, and WIX has spent years of researching the effects of racing on filters, and decades of manufacturing the best, to gain true distinction in all types of racing. These oil filters feature special glass-enhanced media to catch dirt particles without restricting oil flow to your hungry powerhouse. Plus, a strong steel perforated spiral center tube keeps the flow moving and has the highest collapse strength in the industry. WIX Racing oil filters have a heavy-duty can and cover to handle the stress of racing, and some filters include anti-drainback and filter bypass valves. If you're a serious racer, these track-proven filters are your ultimate choice. Guard your engine from power-robbing dirt with WIX Racing oil filters. These filters are designed for racing use only--not for street use.

Wix 51268R High Efficiency Race Oil Filters are for use on dirt, clay & off-road race tracks. They are built to withstand extreme bursts of pressures (up to 500 psi) and extremely high racing temperatures (up to 300° F). Zinc chromate-plated base plate provides low surface friction and is corrosion-free, and spiral-wound centre tube provides increased collapse pressure and enhanced flow pattern. All filters are individually sealed to protect against contamination.

Advanced Performance (AP) Oil Filters use a media that is rated at a Frazier air flow of approximately 267 CFM and is wire-backed. The unique wire-backing provides a very stable base for a media blend of fiberglass, polyester and cellulose. This media is resistant to high temperatures and water levels in the oil that can plug standard media types. Our Advanced Performance media is designed to provide a high positive oil flow with low restriction.

High Efficiency Endurance (HEE) Oil Filters use a media rated at a Frazier air flow of approximately 75 CFM. This media contains a higher resin content than our Advanced Performance Filters to trap and hold smaller contaminant's and provide higher efficiency.
