WIX Racing Engine Oil Filters: Built for the Brutality of Competition
When an engine is pushing past the redline lap after lap, the oil filter standing between a championship run and catastrophic failure has to be more than ordinary. WIX Racing Filters has spent decades engineering engine oil filters purpose-built for those exact conditions — and their motorsports pedigree is virtually unmatched.
WIX patented the first spin-on oil filter in 1954 and has been refining that technology through real-world racing ever since. In developing the WIX Racing line, WIX engineers have worked with more than 25 different racing teams, testing and proving superior materials and designs across thousands of miles of actual race conditions. Today, ninety-nine percent of cars in the NASCAR Cup Series and many of the teams in the Xfinity Series and Craftsman Truck Series compete with WIX Filters products under the hood.
Two Distinct Racing Oil Filter Lines
WIX offers two very different and distinct racing filter lines: for maximum flow and horsepower, the lowest-restriction pure racing media filters (T-10 series) are recommended, while when endurance and better engine protection are needed, WIX's High Efficiency Endurance media filters (T-71 series) are the correct choice.
The High Efficiency Endurance (HEE) media contains a higher resin content than the Advanced Performance Filters to trap and hold smaller contaminants and provide higher efficiency — while still sharing the same robust component features: high burst pressure can, high temperature rubber components, zinc chromate baseplate, metal end caps and spiral center tubes. The HEE line is especially recommended for better efficiency needed on dirt, clay, or off-road tracks.
Engineering That Handles Extreme Conditions
What separates a WIX Racing engine oil filter from a standard filter is a suite of competition-grade features engineered to survive where ordinary filters fail:
- Special glass-enhanced media catches dirt particles without restricting oil flow to the engine.
- A strong steel perforated spiral center tube keeps the flow moving and delivers the highest collapse strength in the industry.
- A heavy-walled can and cover withstand extreme burst pressures up to 500 psi, high-temperature nitrile baseplate gaskets resist temps up to 300°F, and a zinc chromate-plated baseplate provides low surface friction and corrosion resistance.
- A 28 GPM flow rating is optimized for peak engine performance.
- An anti-drainback valve keeps oil in the filter and engine when it is off, preventing dry starts and ensuring consistent lubrication.
Proven Across Every Level of Motorsports
WIX Racing oil filters are designed to cover a full range of racing series, including NASCAR Sprint Cup, Xfinity, Camping World Truck, and ARCA, as well as dirt track, off-road, and drag racing. WIX Filters is also the preferred filter of the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series, with teams trusting WIX Filters to protect 900 HP sprint cars slinging around dirt tracks across the country.
With 85+ years of filtration experience comes a heritage of deep involvement in motorsports — from NTPA tractor pulls to NASCAR championship teams. These partnerships have contributed to numerous championships, including the 2024 Cup Championship for Team Penske and Joey Logano, as well as ThorSport Racing and Ben Rhodes in the Craftsman Truck Series. With 76 engine oil filter SKUs in stock, WIX Racing covers an extensive range of applications — from weekend dirt warriors to full-time professional race builds.
