Applications

Use as a replacement for Cummins Onan units

The code 0185-5835 corresponds to the filter WIX 51344 used as a replacement for some Cummins Onan generator sets. This makes the product suitable for maintenance contexts where the starting reference is the Onan code and an equivalent WIX with declared dimensional and functional data is desired.

Other applications indicated by WIX (to be verified on the individual unit)

WIX specifications also report the use of the filter on numerous applications with engines Isuzu, Yanmar, Kubota and Mitsubishi. However, Cummins Onan does not publish a complete list of compatible generator models with this code: for this reason, in case of doubt, it is advisable to always verify the correspondence through spare part code and/or dimensional specifications (threading and dimensions) before installation.

Maintenance advantages

A correctly identified and installed oil filter contributes to the orderly management of engine maintenance and the lubrication circuit. In particular, this replacement part is useful when:

• you need to replace a filter referred to the Onan code 0185-5835 with a WIX equivalent 51344;
• you want a filter spin-on with thread M20 × 1.5 and known dimensions;
• a filtering element is required with advanced cellulose with nominal filtration rating 21 µm (declared data).

Usage and operational notes

Component function

The oil filter has the task of:

• retaining impurities and particles present in the engine oil;
• protecting the lubrication circuit;
• ensure proper oil flow to engine components;
• contributing to the reliability and longevity of the generator set.

Guidelines for correct selection

To reduce the risk of error during ordering and assembly, always check:

• spare part code (Onan 0185-5835) or the equivalence (WIX 51344);
• thread (M20 × 1.5);
• space requirements (height and outer diameter) in relation to the available space;
• any indications from the engine/unit manufacturer on the specified filter.

Note on compatibility

This sheet reports the available and confirmed information. In the absence of a complete official list of compatible models, compatibility must be determined through code and specifications of the filter installed on your system.
