Compatibility and Fitment
This model fits engines that require a 13/16-16 spin-on mount and a long filter body. It commonly installs on GM and Chevrolet small block and big block race engines. Because it lacks a bypass system, it should only be used where the lubrication circuit is built for race filters. Always confirm mounting thread, gasket diameter, and clearance before fitting.
Compliance and Safety
The WIX Racing Oil Filter 13/16-16 is designed for competition use only. Therefore, it should not replace standard filters on street engines. Replace the filter after each race event or as part of a strict maintenance schedule. Also, dispose of used filters responsibly according to local environmental regulations.
Marine Applications
This racing oil filter also supports high-output marine performance engines that require strong oil flow with minimal pressure drop. Because there is no anti-drainback valve, users must prime the system before starting. As a result, the engine receives immediate lubrication even under high RPM loads.
