Which vehicles does the 51060R fit and how do I confirm compatibility?

The 51060R is produced as a vehicle-specific part, meaning compatibility depends on make, model, and engine year. Always check your vehicle’s manual, OEM part number cross-reference, or enter your vehicle details into Wix’s fitment lookup to confirm fit before ordering. If you have an existing filter, compare dimensions and thread specifications against the 51060R listing to ensure a correct match.

How do I install and maintain the Wix 51060R during an oil change?

Install the 51060R following standard oil filter procedures: drain oil, remove the old filter, lightly coat the new gasket with fresh oil, hand-thread the new filter until seated, and tighten to manufacturer-recommended torque or hand-tight plus a partial turn. Inspect for leaks after startup and monitor oil level after running the engine a few minutes.

• Drain oil fully before removing the old filter
