My notes say a WIX 51516. 

 

TerriAnn Wakeman did some testing and found that the NAPA 1516 was the best
of the lot.

 

Here's what I saved from an earlier posting from Brian Sanborn:

 

>You can use the following premium 5 micron filters:

> 

>A/C Delco PFL400A

>Purolator Pure-One PL20195

>Mobil 1 M1209,

>Motorcraft FL400S,

> 

>Some other cheaper.. regular ones are:

> 

>A.C. Delco PF56

>FRAM PH3600

>Motorcraft FL400

>Purolator L20195

>Wix 51516

>NAPA 1516

>Hastings LF134,135

>Amsoil ASF34

>>2)  This is embarrassing.  I like WIX oil filters and currently have a WIX
on the spin-on adaptor.  You'd think I know >>the number.  Unfortunately,
the number is where I can't read it, and my poor notes on this particular
subject show that >>it is a 51516 or a 11516.  I'd like to have a new one
before I loosen the old one to change oil.  Any hints on which of >>these
numbers is the correct one?
