Wix Engine Oil Filter P/N:51417
Help keep abrasive dirt out of your classic engine's oil with the Wix hydraulic filter 51071, a WIX cartridge lube metal canister filter. It is a direct-fit replacement for many listed vintage Chrysler, DeSoto and Dodge applications, including the 1949-1959 Dodge Coronet and 1953-1957 DeSoto Firedome.

An engine oil filter traps particles carried in the oil as it circulates, which helps protect the engine's internal moving surfaces. Replace it at the interval given in your vehicle's service information.
