Performance Oil Filter 1-1/2 -12 6in Tall

The WIX 51222R Performance Oil Filter 1-1/2 -12 6in Tall is a professional-grade canister-style oil filter engineered for high-performance engine protection across a wide range of automotive and light industrial applications. Designed for technicians and enthusiasts who demand reliable filtration without compromise, this screw-on filter combines proven WIX Racing Filters engineering with durable construction. Whether you're maintaining a stock engine or running modified power, the 51222R delivers consistent performance and extended service intervals through superior media technology.

Built with a steel canister and black paint finish, the Performance Oil Filter 1-1/2 -12 6in Tall features a 1-1/2-12 inch thread specification for secure, leak-free installation on compatible engine blocks and adapters. At 6 inches tall and weighing just 2.35 lbs, the compact form factor accommodates tight engine bay configurations while maintaining robust internal capacity for effective contaminant removal. WIX Racing Filters' advanced bypass valve and anti-drainback design protect engines during cold starts and high-rpm operation, while the anti-corrosion steel body resists degradation in harsh conditions.

This filter suits both OEM replacement and performance-oriented builds where OEM filtration may fall short. Users benefit from extended drain intervals and reduced engine wear when paired with quality synthetic or conventional oils. Installation is straightforward for any technician with basic tools—simply hand-tighten the screw-on mount until the rubber gasket contacts, then turn an additional three-quarters rotation for a proper seal. Always verify thread compatibility (1-1/2-12 in) with your engine adapter or block before purchase to ensure fit and functionality.
