Why fit Wix filters?

To answer that question, Wix Filters takes us back to the beginning of its storied history, one that began in Gastonia, North Carolina, USA.

In 1939 John Doanne “Jack” Wicks and his business partner Paul G. Crenshaw saw a market need for filter replacements that would simplify the filter changing process. After 15 years of success manufacturing filters primarily for agriculture and WWII efforts, Wix turned the filter market upside down with the invention of a spin-on oil filter design that quickly became the industry standard.

Today, Wix light and heavy duty filters consistently offer top protection, breaking typical aftermarket stereotypes for fit, form and function. And that goes for Japanese, European, Australian, Korean and American nameplate cars, as well as light and heavy trucks, agricultural and industrial or earthmoving applications.

With a history steeped in heavy duty filtration tradition, Wix knows that filtration has always been a critical consideration that can significantly impact the long-term profitability of an entire fleet. That fact holds even more relevance today, as fuel prices and vehicle maintenance take more and more of every fleet’s operating expenditure.

Fortunately for technicians and their customers, Wix engineers have spent decades improving engine filtration alternatives and today offer premium filtration products that protect engines better than ever before.

Why? Because Wix says its technologically-advanced oil filter construction captures 45 percent more dirt than some other top brands, and not only captures more dirt, dust and grime, but also lasts 30 percent longer; at nine pleats per inch, the Wix air filter media offers better filtration with lower restriction to air flow. This can also improve fuel economy.

In today’s fuel injection systems a high-quality filter is more important than ever. A fuel filter keeps dirt, rust, scale and other impurities from clogging injectors and carburetors, allowing the engine to run trouble free and at peak mile-per-gallon performance. Wix designs fuel filters to fit all vehicles and has recently included a bracketed fuel filter to its line-up.

Wix claims that its cabin air filters are the industry’s most technologically advanced too, with BioShield 75, a patented, invisible micro biostatic coating, to trap and eliminate odourcausing bacteria, fungi and algae..

Wix is not just a supply company like some of its competitors, but has manufacturing facilities throughout the world, and most of its filters are manufactured within these dedicated and certified facilities.

Rigorous supplier standards, including ISO9001 or QS9000 certification and stringent sourcing standards, assure quality materials. Further quality assurance is guaranteed and controlled by the Wix commitment to manufacture component parts.

For more than 70 Years, Wix has been a leader and an innovator in filtration products. Wix designs, manufactures, and distributes products for automotive, diesel, agricultural, industrial and specialty filter markets. Its product line includes oil, air, cabin interior, water, fuel, coolant, transmission and hydraulic filters for automobiles, trucks and off road equipment.
