Description
The Wix 51085 is a spin-on full-flow lube filter that replaces Mopar 5281090AB on light-duty Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep vehicles from 1991 through 2010. Built with enhanced cellulose media, anti-drain-back valve, and an 8–11 PSI bypass, with a 3/4-16 thread mount that matches the original Mopar fitment.
Signs You Need a New Oil Filter
- Service interval exceeded (typically 3,000–7,500 miles)
- Dark, gritty oil at the dipstick
- Low oil pressure warning at idle
- Increased engine noise from oil starvation
