In the last three years, AMSOIL has introduced more new
products and made more technical advances than during any other
period in the company’s storied 34-year history. AMSOIL now
provides engine oils for nearly every application, multiple
gear oils, greases, fuel additives and appearance products. To
offer a more wellrounded selection of automotive products,
AMSOIL also offers high quality products from other
manufacturers such as Twin Air, Donaldson and WIX. Recently,
AMSOIL’s focus has 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 carries 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 oil, air, lube,
cabin air, hydraulic, 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, but now
AMSOIL will offers WIX filtration products that cross to an Ea
filter. With the exception of WIX lube filters, all WIX filters
should be changed in accordance with original equipment
manufacturer’s (OEM) recommendations. WIX lube filter change
intervals are extended OEM recommendations to match the drain
intervals of AMSOIL XL Motor oil. 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.
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.
