Wix oil filters hold more than 45 percent more dirt than the leading national brand. Oil filter effectiveness is measured through particle size retention (filtration efficiency), dirt-holding capacity, and resistance to flow. Wix has developed optimum particle size retention quality in filter media through extensive engine wear tests. Wix media in automotive full-flow oil filters traps and holds essentially all particles larger than 25 microns, while capturing a high percentage of even smaller particles. The dirt-holding capacity of Wix filters is significantly larger than the minimum manufacturer requirements between oil changes. All Wix full-flow oil filters for automotive and light truck applications use arch-pleated, prescription-blended media, which provides low initial restriction to oil flow - Less than 2 psi pressure drop when filtering oil at a rate of 4 gallons per minute at normal operating temperatures.
