Wix Filter

Does anyone have a P/N for a Wix oil filter for a 72 RR 400 engine? I thought there was a long and short filter.

Thanks!

Is it 51515R?

A smaller diameter is wix 51348. Very short is 51335, short is 51085.
51068 is for a big block with an air pump, standard big block is 51515.

The long one is a diesel application, 51773, 1 1/2 times as long as the standard big 51515.

Just check for clearance.

The 51515R is the high perf version. It's about the same as the top quality Fram HP1 from 45-50 years ago. It has about a full quart capacity.

The Wix 51515R is a racing filter, and it is more concerned with flow than filtering. This is shown in these charts from the Wix page.

Long story short, the 51515 is rated at 21 microns and 7-9 GPM, while the 51515R is rated 61 microns and 28 GPM.

There you have it. What do you want more? Which particles are circulating in your motor? Seems to me if the motor is good I want the more flow. If the motor is moving junk through it then the tight micron makes more sense, but change it really often.

It's a new motor with little time on it, mainly dyno time. The oil ad filter was changed because I had someone change the pan that, found out was going to hit the K. Therefore, the filter and oil wasn't what I told them to put back in. Now, you all know the story

Guess I missed the real story. What was the issue?

 

[rrTor-Red]

Above reply explains that the pan was too close to the K

 

[66Satellite47]

So someone replaced the oil pan and didn't add oil??

 

[rrTor-Red]

They didn't put the oil nor the filter that I wanted in the car's engine and I'm wanting to put back in what I told them to do
