WIX Filters 33507 Heavy Duty Cartridge Fuel Metal Canister

Description

Product Overview

The WIX 33507 is engineered as a heavy‑duty cartridge fuel filter specifically designed for the demanding environments of SUVs and trucks. Constructed from a machined metal canister, the filter provides a rigid, corrosion‑resistant housing that protects the internal filtration media from external damage and ensures a consistent flow rate even under high‑pressure conditions. Built‑in gaskets are integrated into the design, eliminating the need for separate sealing components and reducing the chance of installation errors that can lead to leaks or reduced performance.

With a diameter of approximately 50 mm and a weight of just 1.76 ounces, the filter balances durability with ease of handling, allowing technicians to install or replace the unit quickly without the need for specialized tools. The filter is positioned on the left side of the fuel system, matching the OEM part number 33507, and is compatible with a wide range of vehicle makes and models that require a high‑performance fuel filtration solution. Its machined exterior finish not only adds to the aesthetic appeal but also contributes to the overall structural integrity of the component.

Performance‑grade filtration media inside the cartridge captures contaminants as small as 10 microns, protecting fuel injectors, fuel pumps, and engine components from abrasive particles, water, and other harmful substances. This level of protection helps maintain optimal engine efficiency, reduces emissions, and extends the service life of critical drivetrain components. The filter’s design also promotes a low pressure drop, ensuring that the engine receives a steady supply of clean fuel without sacrificing power output.

WIX, a trusted name in automotive filtration, manufactures this filter to meet rigorous industry standards. The product carries a Global Trade Identification Number (GTIN) of 00765809335073 and an UPC of 765809335073, confirming its authenticity and traceability throughout the supply chain. Customer reviews consistently rate the filter at 4.6 out of 5 stars, reflecting high satisfaction with its reliability, ease of installation, and overall performance.

Usage

This filter is ideal for use in both on‑road and off‑road conditions where fuel quality can vary dramatically. Whether driving through dusty rural roads, navigating urban traffic with frequent stop‑and‑go, or operating in extreme temperature ranges, the WIX 33507 maintains consistent filtration efficiency. The heavy‑duty metal construction resists deformation from vibration and shock, making it suitable for heavy‑load trucks that experience higher engine loads and more intense fuel system pressures.

Installation is straightforward: simply remove the old filter, insert the new WIX 33507 cartridge, and secure it using the built‑in gaskets that automatically seal the connection. The design minimizes the risk of cross‑threading or overtightening, which can damage the fuel line or the filter housing. For fleet operators, the quick‑change capability translates into reduced vehicle downtime and lower labor costs during routine maintenance cycles.

Beyond standard passenger vehicles, the filter is also compatible with a variety of light‑commercial and utility vehicles that share similar fuel system architectures. Its versatility makes it a preferred choice for service centers, independent mechanics, and DIY enthusiasts who demand a reliable, high‑performance solution that can be stocked and deployed across multiple vehicle platforms.

FAQ

What vehicles are compatible with the WIX 33507 filter?

The filter fits a broad range of SUVs and trucks that use a left‑side cartridge fuel filter. It matches the OEM part number 33507, so any vehicle that originally came with that part number can use this filter as a direct replacement.

How often should the filter be replaced?

Replacement intervals depend on driving conditions and fuel quality, but a general guideline is every 20,000 to 30,000 miles for typical use. In dusty or high‑stress environments, more frequent changes—such as every 15,000 miles—can help maintain optimal engine performance.

Can I install the filter myself?

Yes. The WIX 33507 is designed for easy, tool‑free installation. Simply depressurize the fuel system, remove the old filter, insert the new cartridge, and secure it using the built‑in gaskets. Detailed instructions are included with the product.

What are the benefits of the built‑in gaskets?

Built‑in gaskets provide a reliable seal without the need for separate rubber components, which can degrade over time. This design reduces the chance of leaks, ensures consistent pressure, and simplifies the installation process, especially for DIY mechanics.

Does the filter affect fuel economy?

The low pressure drop and efficient filtration of the WIX 33507 help maintain steady fuel flow, which can contribute to marginal improvements in fuel economy compared to clogged or low‑quality aftermarket filters.
