A History of
Excellence
WIX is well-known around the world for its
innovative filtration products for the automotive
and light truck market. Founded in 1939, the
Gastonia, N.C., company
earned acclaim during World War II when it created
an oil filter out of a paper tube, wooden plugs and
yarn when steel was in short supply. In 1954 WIX
created the revolutionary spin-on oil filter that
was eventually adopted as original equipment on most
vehicles.
Today WIX
manufactures some of the best air, lube, cabin air,
fuel crank case breather and transmission filtration
products on the market. The company is also widely
known for its support of NASCAR.
Superior Construction
WIX oil filters have a full metal base plate for
superior strength at the double seal. They also
feature a silicone anti-drainback valve that stays
flexible in extreme temperatures. This improves oil
flow and keeps oil in the filter to prevent dry
starts.
WIX oil filters
use an up-front by-pass valve. This design is
superior to top-mounted valves because it helps to
keep oil from washing past dirty media and entering
the engine. The glass-enhanced media in WIX oil
filters offers greater efficiency, capturing more 10
to 12 micron sized particles than other
cellulose/synthetic blend medias. They also have a
coil steel spring to ensure internal filter parts
are sealed properly.
WIX panel
element air filters have a linear path through the
filter for low airflow restriction, a specially
formulated adhesive to form WIX’s exclusive pocket
pleat for the filter media and a soft sealing
urethane gasket molded in place on the filter
element.
Radial air
filters are constructed of mesh screen on the inside
wall diameter for element strength and media
protection from backfire. Each round filter is
manufactured with heat-resistant plastisol with
specially designed crush seals on the top and bottom
walls and adhesive seal joining the media ends.
Additional Filtration Products AMSOIL offers WIX
filtration products for auto/light truck and racing
applications. This includes not only standard air
and oil filters, but fuel, transmission, cabin air
and filters specially designed for racing as well.
Fuel Filters
WIX fuel filters provide unmatched fuel cleansing
performance. They prevent pump wear, injector
clogging, premature engine wear and help boost fuel
efficiency. WIX fuel filters offer quick, easy
filter replacement, long life and the possibility of
extended service intervals. WIX spin-on filters
reduce the possibility of improperly installed cover
gaskets, and they provide effective, easy draining
of excess water on filters equipped with the drain
plug. The superior materials, design and
construction of WIX fuel filters provide excellent
performance under all types of operating conditions.
Transmission Filters
AMSOIL will also offer the full line of
industry-leading WIX transmission filters for
passenger cars and light trucks. WIX transmission
filters provide superior protection for many
transmission applications in the auto/light truck
market.
Cabin Air Filters
AMSOIL now carries the entire WIX line of
high-efficiency cabin interior air filters for
passenger cars and light trucks. See

Additional Information
WIX filters are supplemental to AMSOIL Ea filters,
therefore AMSOIL will not offer any WIX filtration
products that cross to an Ea filter. WIX filters
should be changed in accordance with original
equipment manufacturer’s (OEM) recommendations. To
find the correct filter for your application,
consult the
Product Application Tool.
WIX Racing Filters
AMSOIL is carrying WIX racing filters in addition to
filters for more common automotive and light truck
applications. WIX has been a part of racing and
NASCAR for many years, both as a sponsor and in the
race cars. The company’s long-standing relationship
with NASCAR not only demonstrates that WIX filters
are high-quality products, but it also shows WIX’s
dedication to racing, making it a perfect match for
AMSOIL.
Richard Petty began using WIX
filters in 1967, winning six NASCAR championships
with the help of WIX filtration technology.
Currently, WIX filters are used on more than 20
Sprint Cup cars, including those of two-time
champion Tony Stewart and 2007 Raybestos Rookie of
the Year Juan Pablo Montoya. WIX is also an
associate sponsor of Joe Gibbs Racing and maintains
a partnership with Toyota Racing Development (TRD).
WIX racing
filters are specially designed for racing
applications and are not intended for normal driving
applications. AMSOIL will carry all WIX racing
filters, which includes 10 oil, 14 air and 2 fuel
filters.
