Wix 51258 Discontinued
 
As the title says, According to summit, so I assume the Napa gold 1258 is also, as well as the Wix 51042 A freind of mine was running that one with Hedman headers not sure what a guy is gonna do now.

PBL25288 is the American made small body purolator number. Baldwin B39

Consider the NapaGold 1045 Oil Filter (Wix 51045) it is smaller.

+2 for the Baldwin B39.

Slightly shorter than most of the others for additjonal header clearance, full flow, quickest repsonse on the gauge and you can block the bypass in the filter housing with no negatives anyplace........

The good news is Wix didn't discontinue the SBC tall truck filter. They still offer that filter, it's just the same size as the standard SBC filter. 🙄

rock auto shows lots of 51258 filters available. if they are really discontinued y'all better buy a bunch of them before they are gone.

There are lots of other standard size good filters that will fit pontiacs with headers... ive been using the mobil1 filter that fits with hedman D ports & big 2" O-port hooker super comps.

Yikes, thanks for the heads-up. Just bought a case of 12 in case the rumor is true. That said, I'm still seeing them in stock at O'Reilly.

ZeGermanHam 02-10-2024 01:22 PM

Yep, they're $4.81/ea on Rock Auto. Great deal. What's nuts is that they cost $12.99/ea at O'Reilly. Wild.

when storing them for a long time be aware they will rust inside.
