Wix 51356 Spin-On Oil Filter, Pack of 1 Reviews

Customer Ratings:

Wix manufactures outstanding oil filters. They supply the NAPA Gold line of oil filters and are identical filters.

The only difference is the paint job on the filter housing. I buy these for my Acura and they are excellent-no leakage.

PROS

1. Greatest Bang for the Buck in my assessment.

2. Has a superior Silicone backflow valve compared to standard nitrile valves on most conventional oil filters.

3. This filter has 25-Micron pleated filter media.

CONS

1. The only line of filters better are the NAPA Platinum (Also manufactured by Wix), but they are overpriced.

Suggestions:

1. Buy by the case (12) and save on Amazon. Free S/H is an added perc.

2. I avoid going to the brick and mortar NAPA stores because counter service is almost always poor, it is inconvenient and the prices can be marked up depending on the franchise and the location.

3. Since Wix and the NAPA Gold line of oil filters are identical, shop by price. (NAPA Gold oil filters have the same four digit part number as Wix minus the "5" prefix).

3. Don't forget to lubricate the oil filter gasket with a light film of oil before installing.

I work in the aftermarket automotive parts industry, and after evaluating the differences in oil filters offered from Walmart (usually Fram) I've settled on the Wix brand due to its superior build and filtration qualities. It may be unfair to compare Fram to Wix since Fram is clearly a low-price brand, the difference in Wix's superiority is more than worth the difference in price (about $3.) I've seen Wix's advantage in its other filtration products too, so I only use Wix for cabin & air filters also in the Honda Odyssey (every time I get an exact fit).

Amazon Prime saves me 45 minutes of not having to drive to the auto parts store. This is extra time I can spend with my family which makes me a 'Happy Dad'!

Honest reviews on Wix 51356 Spin-On Oil Filter, Pack of 1

I have a 2003 350z and this is the perfect filter for it. It is a big longer than the recommended stock replacement, but it fits just fine and gives you extra filtering material for the same price as a smaller one.

Longer cartridge than it's counterpart, the 51365. With everything else essentially the same (minus dimensional length), this one is also cheaper, so why not use the potentially better filtering agent, a.k.a. 51365, due to additional media filtering? Sounds like a fair and logical venture. Tuuuuuurbo!

Discount Kendall 1043357 Super-D 3 SAE 30 Diesel Engine Oil - 1 Quart Bottle

Customer Ratings:

I currently use this in a 2001 7.3l Powerstroke. The oil holds up well, even when run over my mileage limit for motor oil and in the heat of the Deep South towing a 30' camper. Since it isn't a synthetic, I use Lucas Oil Treatment to help it out, but only replace one quart on the refill. That combined with the AFE oil filter, makes for good driving.

Reviews of Valvoline VV296 DuraBlend SAE 10W-30 Semi-Synthetic Motor Oil - 1

Customer Ratings:

I have an older truck with over 250,000 miles on the original motor. As with any old motor it starts making noises with age, (kinda like people lol). I had tried several different conventional oils and nothing quieted the noise. I didn't want to take on the expense of a full synthetic, so I decided to try this, and it did the trick. I don't hear any unusual engine noise now!! I used to only buy Quaker State and Castrol but I'm now a Valvoline man!! I also use a can of Restore RES60019 Engine Restorer 8 Cylinder. 19 oz. at every oil change, regardless as to whether it's conventional oil or not. That stuff compliments the oil and really does work, it comes in 4-6-and 8 cylinder formulas. I'll have that covered in a review for that product. Overall This Valvoline Durablend is great stuff.

I've been using Durablend in my Ford 351 engine for 18 years. Back when, it was about twice as much as regular oil, but still alot cheaper than full synthetic. I would change my oil every 3,000 miles and even at that interval the color of the oil was just turning brownish-black. Probably could have waited longer, but being a volunteer firefighter, the truck idles alot in the winter time at accident scenes. Times are changing and synthetics are coming down in price making it harder for me to find Durablend. Thank goodness Amazon still offers it and at a price that still makes it worth it.
