WIX Oil Filter 51068 – Ford, Chrysler, Kubota & Marine
The WIX 51068 is a full-flow spin-on lubricating oil filter designed to remove abrasive contaminants while maintaining dependable oil flow through the engine’s lubrication system. It uses enhanced-cellulose filter media and includes an anti-drainback valve to help retain oil in the filter during shutdown, reducing the risk of a dry start.
This long-format filter measures approximately 4.34 inches high by 3.66 inches in diameter and uses a 3/4"-16 mounting thread. It carries a nominal 21-micron rating, an 8–11 psi bypass-valve setting, and a rated flow range of 7–9 gallons per minute.

Engine Compatibility
WIX principally associates the 51068 with select:
- AGCO and AGCO Allis tractors
- Chrysler applications from approximately 1970–1991
- Ford and Mercury applications from approximately 1983–1997
- Kubota-powered equipment
- Land Rover applications from approximately 1995–2004
- Toyota applications from approximately 1968–1990
- Select industrial and agricultural engines using the corresponding filter specification
The filter may also appear on marinized installations using related base engines, but compatibility must be confirmed through the installed filter number, engine model, and filter-head specification.
Fitment Notice
Confirm the number printed on the existing filter or verify the engine model, serial number, and oil filter head requirements before ordering. Many filters use the same 3/4"-16 mounting thread — a filter may physically screw onto the filter head while having a different body length, gasket diameter, bypass pressure, anti-drainback arrangement, or flow capacity. Available clearance must also be checked as the WIX 51068 is approximately 4.34 inches long.
When to Replace
Replace the oil filter whenever the engine oil is changed or at the interval specified by the engine or equipment manufacturer. Earlier replacement may be appropriate following extended low-speed or high-load operation, frequent short operating cycles, fuel, coolant, water or debris contamination, long periods of seasonal storage, internal engine repairs, abnormal oil-pressure conditions, or operation in dusty or severe-duty environments. Replace the filter immediately if its housing is dented, corroded, or leaking.
Installation Notes
Remove the old filter and confirm its sealing gasket has not remained on the mounting surface. Clean the filter head and inspect for corrosion, damage, or old gasket material. Lightly coat the new gasket with clean engine oil and install by hand to the manufacturer’s tightening specification — do not overtighten. After installation: refill with the specified oil, start the engine and verify normal oil pressure, inspect for leakage, shut down and allow oil to settle, then recheck and correct the oil level.

Parts Desk Insights
The WIX 51068 shares its 3/4"-16 thread with many common oil filters, but its length, gasket dimensions, and 8–11 psi bypass setting are all part of the fitment. Matching the existing filter number is much safer than choosing one that simply threads onto the engine. This filter has broad automotive, agricultural, and industrial coverage but limited marine-specific OEM cross-references — if you’re fitting this to a marinized engine, confirm against the engine builder’s filter specification rather than the base automotive application.
