been on the filtration market. The recently launched Ea Filter line includes the
finest filtration products in the world for the auto/light truck market, and
Donaldson covers the heavy-duty market. To complement the Ea line of filters,
AMSOIL now offers WIX filters, allowing one-stop shopping for automotive
customers. AMSOIL will carry over 700 WIX air, oil, fuel, racing and
transmission filters for automotive and light truck applications.
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.
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
Online Product Application Guide.
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.

Winston Cup Champion Bobby Labonte in the Nextel Cup Series. WIX is also an air
filter contingency sponsor in the NASCAR contingency sponsorship program,
awarding cash prizes to WIX-sponsored drivers in the Nextel Cup, Busch Grand
National, Craftsman Truck, Winston West and Busch North Series that finish in
