Wix 51348 Spin-On Lube Oil Filter Six-Pack — pleated media, anti-drainback valve

WIX Filters 51348 Spin-On Lube Filter (6) is a six-pack of premium spin-on oil filters engineered to trap contaminants and help maintain consistent oil flow for internal combustion engines.

These WIX 51348 spin-on lube filters are replacement oil filters supplied as a convenient six-pack for workshops, fleet operators, and DIY mechanics. Built to WIX quality standards, each filter uses a pleated media and a sealed housing to catch particulates, metal wear, and sludge while preserving proper oil pressure and flow characteristics. The 6-pack packaging reduces downtime and ensures you have spare filters ready for scheduled service intervals.

What construction features make the WIX 51348 effective?

The WIX 51348 uses a multi-layer pleated filter media inside a robust spin-on canister to balance filtration efficiency and flow. It includes a corrosion-resistant shell and a dependable anti-drainback valve to protect the oil system when the engine is off.

• High-performance pleated media for particle capture
• Rigid metal housing prevents crushing or deformation
• Anti-drainback valve reduces dry-start wear
• Factory-applied sealing gasket for secure fitment

How do I install and remove the spin-on filter?

Installing the WIX 51348 is straightforward: drain the oil, remove the old filter, apply a thin coat of oil to the new gasket, hand-tighten, then torque to specification if required. Removal is just the reverse—use a filter wrench if the old unit is tight or seized.

• Drain oil before removal to avoid spills
• Lubricate gasket with fresh oil for a proper seal
• Hand-tighten, then follow vehicle torque recommendations
• Dispose of used filters responsibly according to local codes

Which vehicles and applications does the 51348 fit?

The WIX 51348 fits a range of engines where the manufacturer specifies this filter dimension and thread pattern. It’s commonly used in light trucks, vans, and passenger cars; always cross-reference part numbers with the vehicle’s service manual or an online fitment guide.

• Compatible with engines listing 51348 in fitment guides
• Suitable for gasoline and some diesel applications where specified
• Useful for garages servicing multiple vehicle types
• Covers scheduled maintenance and emergency replacements

Why buy the six-pack instead of single filters?

Purchasing a six-pack of WIX 51348 filters brings cost savings per unit and ensures you have replacements on hand between service visits. For fleet managers and frequent changers, bulk supply reduces trips to suppliers and prevents service interruptions during busy repair schedules.

• Lower unit cost compared to singles
• Fewer supply runs — keep spares in inventory
• Consistent filter performance across multiple services
• Ideal for shops, fleets, and proactive DIYers
