Wix Filters released five ecoLast oil filter part numbers for the following engines: Cummins ISX, Cummins M11, Mack MP8, Detroit DD60 and Caterpillar C13 and C15.


EcoLast, a line of direct replacement heavy-duty oil filters, can double oil life and save fleets $100 to $200 per vehicle annually, says the company.

Wix ecoLast oil filters capture dirt and soot like a traditional filter, while using a special media to sequester the acids in the oil. Other extended drain technologies, such as time-release additives, sacrificial elements, on-board refining and bypass filtration, are all limited by buildup of acidity levels.

The ecoLast filtration media, which does not rely on slow release technology, is compatible with conventional and synthetic lubes, and works with biodiesel, LPG, gasoline and diesel fuels.

According to the company, a mega-fleet with 9,000 vehicles using ecoLast oil filters can realize a potential annual savings of approximately $1.15 million by eliminating the need for 5,400 barrels or 226,800 gallons of oil, 18,000 oil filters and approximately 9,000 service hours.

The following ecoLast part numbers are now available through all of the traditional Wix distribution channels:
