In the last three years, AMSOIL has introduced more new products and made more technical advances than during any other period in the company’s storied 34-year history. AMSOIL now provides engine oils for nearly every application, multiple gear oils, greases, fuel additives and appearance products. To offer a more wellrounded selection of automotive products, AMSOIL also offers high quality products from other manufacturers such as Twin Air, Donaldson and WIX. Recently, AMSOIL’s focus has been on the filtration market. The recently launched Ea Filter line includes the finest filtration products in the world for the auto/light truck market, and Donaldson covers the heavy-duty market. To complement the Ea line of filters, AMSOIL now offers WIX filters, allowing one-stop shopping for automotive customers. AMSOIL carries over 700 WIX air, oil, fuel, racing and transmission filters for automotive and light truck applications.
A History of Excellence
WIX is well-known around the world for its innovative filtration
products for the automotive and light truck market. Founded in 1939,
the Gastonia, N.C., company earned acclaim during World War II when it
created an oil filter out of a paper tube, wooden plugs and yarn when
steel was in short supply. In 1954 WIX created the revolutionary
spin-on oil filter that was eventually adopted as original equipment on
most vehicles.
Today WIX manufactures some of the best oil, air, lube, cabin air, hydraulic, fuel, crank case breather and transmission filtration products on the market. The company is also widely known for its support of NASCAR.
Superior Construction
WIX oil filters have a full metal base
plate for superior strength at the
double seal. They also feature a silicone
anti-drainback valve that stays
flexible in extreme temperatures. This
improves oil flow and keeps oil in the filter to prevent dry
starts.
WIX oil filters use an up-front by-pass valve. This design is superior to top-mounted valves because it helps to keep oil from washing past dirty media and entering the engine. The glass-enhanced media in WIX oil filters offers greater efficiency, capturing more 10 to 12 micron sized particles than other cellulose/synthetic blend medias. They also have a coil steel spring to ensure internal filter parts are sealed properly.
WIX panel element air filters have a linear path through the filter for low airflow restriction, a specially formulated adhesive to form WIX’s exclusive pocket pleat for the filter media and a soft sealing urethane gasket molded in place on the filter element.
Radial air filters are constructed of mesh screen on the inside wall diameter for element strength and media protection from backfire. Each round filter is manufactured with heat-resistant plastisol with specially designed crush seals on the top and bottom walls and adhesive seal joining the media ends. Additional Filtration Products AMSOIL offers WIX filtration products for auto/light truck and racing applications. This includes not only standard air and oil filters, but fuel, transmission, cabin air and filters specially designed for racing as well.
Fuel Filters
WIX fuel filters provide unmatched fuel cleansing performance.
They prevent pump wear, injector clogging,
premature engine wear and help boost fuel efficiency.
WIX fuel filters offer quick, easy filter replacement, long
life and the possibility of extended service intervals.
WIX spin-on filters reduce the possibility of improperly
installed cover gaskets, and they provide effective,
easy draining of excess water on filters equipped with
the drain plug. The superior materials, design and construction
of WIX fuel filters provide excellent performance
under all types of operating conditions.
Transmission Filters
AMSOIL will also offer the full line of industry-leading
WIX transmission filters for passenger cars and light
trucks. WIX transmission filters provide superior protection
for many transmission applications in the
auto/light truck market.
Cabin Air Filters
AMSOIL now carries the entire WIX line of high-efficiency
cabin interior air filters for passenger cars and
light trucks. See Cabin Air Filter Installations (2MB PDF)
Additional Information
WIX filters are supplemental to AMSOIL Ea filters, but now AMSOIL will
offers WIX filtration products that cross to an Ea filter. With the
exception of WIX lube filters, all WIX filters should be changed in
accordance with original equipment manufacturer’s (OEM)
recommendations. WIX lube filter change intervals are extended OEM
recommendations to match the drain intervals of AMSOIL XL Motor oil. To
find the correct filter for your application, consult the Online Product Application
Guide.
WIX Racing Filters
AMSOIL is carrying WIX racing filters in addition to
filters for more common automotive and light truck
applications. WIX has been a part of racing and
NASCAR for many years, both as a sponsor and in
the race cars. The company’s long-standing relationship
with NASCAR not only demonstrates that
WIX filters are high-quality products, but it also
shows WIX’s dedication to racing, making it a perfect
match for AMSOIL.
Richard Petty began using WIX filters in 1967, winning six NASCAR championships with the help of WIX filtration technology. Currently, WIX filters are used on more than 20 Sprint Cup cars, including those of two-time champion Tony Stewart and 2007 Raybestos Rookie of the Year Juan Pablo Montoya. WIX is also an associate sponsor of Joe Gibbs Racing and maintains a partnership with Toyota Racing Development (TRD).
WIX racing filters are specially designed for racing applications and are not intended for normal driving applications. AMSOIL will carry all WIX racing filters, which includes 10 oil, 14 air and 2 fuel filters.

NLGI #0 (GLA) and #1 (GLB) have better mobility and are the preferred choice for colder applications, for automatic lubrication systems with long pumping runs, and for gear box applications (where recommended by manufacturer). NLGI
#2 (GLC) is the preferred choice for medium to high ambient
temperatures, sleeve type bushings, high shock loading environments,
wet environments. and is the primary choice for wheel bearings.
The correct consistency grade of AMSOIL GL multi-purpose greases are recommended for use in heavy and light duty applications found in manufacturing plants, automotive applications, agricultural equipment and construction equipment. These include, but are not limited to, roller bearings, plain bearings, thrust bearings, gears, electric motors, presses, winches, bushings, wheel bearings. chassis lubrication, universal joints, ball joints, tie-rod ends, and steering knuckles. AMSOIL GL greases are suitable for use up to 350 F When operating at elevated temperatures, frequent regreasing may be required.
AMSOIL GL Lithium Complex Greases are compatible with many other types of greases. However, it is recommended that when changing greases, the equipment be cleaned of the old grease when possible or flushed with a liberal amount of the GL grease while the mechanism is in operation. Closely monitor the system for any inconsistencies. Grease compatibility questions should be referred to your AMSOIL representative or AMSOIL Inc.
APPLICATION MAINTENANCE
Maintaining a clean work environment is important when equipment greasing is performed. Wipe grease fitting clean prior to injecting grease to prevent contaminant ingestion. Maintain bearing housings one-third to one-half full of grease. Do not over-grease, as excessive heat buildup can result. Supplement standard grease maintenance by periodically cleaning and packing housings with fresh grease on an established maintenance schedule.

AMSOIL PRODUCT AVAILABILITY
AMSOIL GL Series Greases are available in 14-oz. cartridges, 16-oz. tubs.

NLGI #1 and #2 (Lithium Complex - Moly Fortified)
Extreme-pressure, moly-fortified. Provides outstanding protection for four wheel drive steering knuckles, spring shackles and other components operating in high-load, low-speed conditions. Product Codes: GHB, GHD
APPLICATIONS OR REQUIREMENTS
The presence of moly provides an extra measure of protection in shock loading situations common in both construction and agricultural use. During heavy shock loading, the lubricant film between metal surfaces can be temporarily ruptured, but moly remains intact to prevent metal to metal contact which could cause equipment damage. Moly also assists in dirty environments or when proper re-greasing intervals are not followed.
AMSOIL's top performing lithium complex thickener system provides excellent water resistance as identified by the ASTM D-1264 water washout test. Therefore, even in wet conditions a lubricant film remains present to protect equipment against wear while the corrosion inhibitors prevent rust. AMSOIL GH greases adhere to metal and are shear stable during severe mechanical activity. These features mean the grease does not thin during operation, but rather it maintains its consistency and stays in place to provide good lubrication.
