WIX Oil Filter (1984-95 4Runner / 1979-95 Pickup)

WIX Spin-On Oil Filter

For 1984–1995 Toyota 4Runner and 1979–1995 Toyota Pickup

Overview

The WIX spin-on engine oil filter is a direct replacement for gasoline-powered 1984–1995 Toyota 4Runner and 1979–1995 Toyota Pickup models. It uses enhanced-cellulose filter media inside a compact metal canister to capture contaminants circulating with the engine oil.

An anti-drainback valve helps retain oil in the filter after shutdown, while the integrated bypass valve maintains an alternate oil path when restriction across the filter media becomes excessive.

Key Features

• Enhanced-cellulose media for engine-oil filtration
• 21-micron nominal filtration rating
• Anti-drainback valve integrated into the filter assembly
• 8–11 psi bypass-valve setting
• 275 psi burst-pressure rating
• Spin-on metal canister with installed sealing gasket
