Oil Filter Adapter 13/16-16 Thread

The Oil Filter Adapter 13/16-16 Thread (WIX24734) is a precision engine component designed for mechanics and automotive enthusiasts who need reliable filter mounting solutions on custom or modified engine builds. This adapter bridges the gap between non-standard filter housings and 13/16-16 threaded ports, making it essential for engine swaps, performance modifications, and applications where original equipment filter mounts have been changed or relocated. Whether you're retrofitting a vintage engine into a modern platform or upgrading a high-performance engine bay, this adapter ensures secure, leak-free filter installation.

Engineered with WIX Racing Filters' reputation for precision manufacturing, the Oil Filter Adapter 13/16-16 Thread features robust construction that withstands sustained engine pressure and thermal cycling common in modified vehicles. The 13/16-inch diameter with 16-thread-per-inch pitch specification matches industry-standard spin-on filter housing threads, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of aftermarket and OEM filter canisters. Measuring 4.2 x 3.85 x 5.85 inches with a compact 0.82-pound footprint, this adapter integrates seamlessly into tight engine compartments without requiring extensive rework of surrounding plumbing or bracket assemblies.

Mechanics performing fuel-injected swaps, turbo installations, or complete engine conversions rely on this adapter to maintain proper filtration flow rates while eliminating costly custom fabrication. Installation requires only basic hand tools and a socket suitable for the 13/16-16 port; apply appropriate thread sealant to prevent oil weeping during high-RPM operation. This adapter is ideal for race applications, street performance builds, and restoration projects where filter accessibility or housing modification is necessary—providing the confidence that your engine's lubrication system maintains factory-level protection under demanding conditions.
