Wix 51258 Scare Stories
Seen a thread on FB recently about new production Wix 51258 missing drainback valves and having thin cases that can blow. Now, I know a lot of people talk a lot of --um, hooey, especially on FB. I guess I've got a few questions in my head.
Anyone here *actually* run into this recently on a filter they had in their hands or on their engine? Do we care so much about drainback valve on our engines where the filter sits almost upright? I guess the weak casings would be my bigger worry (if true) since my oil pressure can be high especially when cold.. Anyone have a part number on a "luxury" oil filter still made of quality materials? I'm tempted to maybe just buy more Wix filters and just take one apart from each batch I get to see if any of this is BS or true.. Sam

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
