Full Product Description
WIX Filters has been a leader in filtration technology since 1939, and the WL10518 continues that legacy of precision. This is a cartridge lube filter, meaning it is designed to be inserted into your vehicle’s permanent filter housing. This “metal-free” design is not only lightweight but also environmentally friendly, as it reduces waste compared to traditional spin-on canisters.
The filter utilizes a high-quality cellulose media that is pleated to maximize surface area, allowing it to trap up to 50% more dirt and soot than standard budget filters. It is rated for 99% efficiency at 23 microns, providing a critical line of defense against premature engine wear. This filter is the ideal match for high-performance German engineering, ensuring that your turbocharged engine receives a clean, steady supply of oil throughout the entire service interval.
