Think a car oil filter element is just rolled-up paper? Think again! 🧬
At WIX Filters, filter media is engineered as a high-performance composite designed for the demands of modern engines. What looks like “paper” is actually a sophisticated multi-layer structure made from cellulose, synthetic fibres, and advanced impregnating resins.
Why does this matter?
✔️ Deep filtration – contaminants are captured throughout the entire filter media, not just on the surface
✔️ Stable oil pressure – optimised porosity ensures efficient lubrication with minimal flow resistance
✔️ Exceptional durability – reinforced pleats resist deformation caused by heat and high pressure
Our filter media is designed to trap particles several times smaller than a human hair, creating an invisible barrier that helps protect bearings and cylinder liners from harmful soot and metal particles.
Modern filtration is more than a component - it’s precision engineering working inside every engine.
