What is a cabin air filter?
Cabin air filters are designed to capture airborne contaminants such as soot, dirt,
pollen, and other pollutants, that enter a vehicle cabin through its heating, air
conditioning and defrosting (HVAC) system. Cabin air filters also prevent leaves, dirt,
bugs and other debris from entering the HVAC system and negatively impacting the
operation of the heater, air conditioner and defroster.

Are consumers concerned about the air quality in their vehicle cabins?
According to a survey conducted by The Dohring Co., one of North America's
largest providers of market research to the retail automotive community, 85 percent
of respondents are concerned about the health effects of exhaust gases and vapors
while driving; and almost half of the respondents are concerned about pollens,
allergens, germs, dust particles, odors and smog. Ninety five percent of respondents
are concerned about air pollutants within their vehicle.


Does my vehicle have a cabin air filter?
As the concern over air pollution and its impact on drivers and passengers has
grown in recent years, the number of cars and trucks with cabin air filtration systems
has increased steadily; today more than 80 percent of all new import and domestic
vehicles sold in the U.S. have a cabin air filter or a slot where one can be installed.
Check your owner's manual to determine if your vehicle has a cabin air filter and its
location.  You can also check the Online Product Application Guide at
www.allserviceoil.com.  If the application guide lists a Cabin Air filter, check your
manual and locate the filter.  Then, contact us to order a replacement filter.  Some
vehicles may list a Cabin Air Filter on the Lookup, but they may not have been
included with all models (ex. 1998 Ford Expedition lists a cabin air filter, but our truck
does not have it).

high quality products from other manufacturers such as Twin Air, Donaldson and WIX. Recently,
advances than during any other period in the company’s storied 34-year history. AMSOIL now offers
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

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.

WIX is an associate sponsor of the Joe Gibbs Racing No. 18 car driven by 2000 Winston Cup
Champion Bobby Labonte in the Nextel Cup Series. WIX is also an air filter contingency sponsor in
the NASCAR contingency sponsorship program, awarding cash prizes to WIX-sponsored drivers in
the Nextel Cup, Busch Grand National, Craftsman Truck, Winston West and Busch North Series that
finish in first, second or third place.

WIX also sponsors Joe Gibbs Racing’s No. 20 car driven by 2005 Nextel Cup Champion Tony
Stewart, along with Richard Childress Racing, Bill Davis Racing, Dale Earnhardt, Inc., Evernham
Motorsports, Hendrick Motorsports, Roush Racing and Robert Yates Racing in NASCAR’s Nextel Cup
Series.

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.  Find your filter number in the cross reference (below).  To order the filter, pick the proper
catergory (air, oil, or fuel) from the list above.)
