Performance Oil Filter 1-1/8 - 16 6in Tall

The WIX 51268R Performance Oil Filter is a 1-1/8-16 screw-on canister filter engineered for high-performance and racing applications where oil flow rate and engine protection demand precision engineering. Standing 6 inches tall, this steel-bodied filter with 1-1/8-16 thread specification fits a wide range of automotive platforms requiring robust filtration during sustained high-RPM operation and extreme thermal conditions.

WIX Racing Filters are manufactured to exacting OEM and performance standards, with media construction designed to maximize dirt-holding capacity while maintaining low restriction under racing loads. The 51268R's canister design and black paint finish provide corrosion resistance and durability in engine compartments exposed to heat cycling and moisture. The 1-1/8-16 thread size is a common specification across many V8 muscle cars, street rods, and performance-modified engines where aftermarket filtration is critical to extended engine life and consistent oil pressure delivery to bearings under sustained power.

This filter serves enthusiasts and technicians building or maintaining high-output engines where OEM filtration falls short of performance demands. Track vehicles, street machines running frequent long drives, and engines modified with higher displacement or boosted configurations benefit from WIX's reputation for reliable media construction and proper bypass valve calibration. The 1-1/8-16 thread specification is standard on many classic and contemporary platforms, making the 51268R a drop-in replacement for builders prioritizing quality filtration over generic alternatives.
