Proper wix transmission filter for a car with a vin 1lnlm91v2sy730895
Executive summary
A precise match for "proper WIX transmission filter for a car with VIN 1lnlm91v2sy730895" cannot be produced from the supplied reporting because none of the sources decode VINs or provide a VIN lookup tied to specific WIX part numbers; instead, the reporting supplies vehicle-year filter catalogs and vendor search tools that show WIX makes transmission filters for Lincoln LS vehicles and that WIX provides an online Filter Finder to identify the correct part [1] [2] [3].
1. VIN decoding: why the sources cannot answer the question directly
The supplied documents include product listings and filter-finder tools but do not include a VIN-decoding service or a cross-reference that maps the exact VIN string "1lnlm91v2sy730895" to a WIX part number, so it is not possible from these sources to state a single WIX transmission filter SKU that is guaranteed to fit that exact VIN; the WIX site offers a vehicle search and customer service contacts to determine fitment [2] [4], while parts vendors list filters for Lincoln LS model years without tying them to VIN-level detail [1] [5].
2. What the reporting does establish about WIX and Lincoln LS transmission filters
WIX manufactures transmission filters intended to reduce wear and protect passenger-car and light-truck transmissions from contaminants, and the company publishes product information and a Filter Finder tool for matching filters to vehicles [3] [2]; independent parts retailers and marketplaces show WIX transmission filters listed for Lincoln LS model years and sell WIX kits such as WL10102, indicating WIX parts are offered as replacement options for that vehicle family [1] [6] [7] [5].
3. Common vendor pathways to identify the correct part for a given VIN
The practical route the sources imply is to use a manufacturer filter-finder or a reputable parts catalog that accepts VIN or vehicle-year/make/model input: WIX’s own Filter Finder and “Search by Vehicle” pages and hotline are explicitly provided for confirming fitment [2] [4], while large parts sellers (PartsGeek, eBay listings) show which WIX or equivalent filter SKUs are marketed for Lincoln LS years—use those vendor lookups in combination with the VIN to confirm exact fit [1] [6] [8] [5].
4. How to proceed, step-by-step, based on the available reporting
First, use WIX’s Filter Finder or their “Search by Vehicle” page and, if available on that site, enter the VIN or the vehicle’s year/make/model to return the precise WIX transmission filter part number or kit [2] [4]; second, cross-check that result against multiple reputable parts retailers (PartsGeek, NewParts, eBay listings) to confirm the same WIX SKU or a recommended OE-equivalent appears for the Lincoln LS model years shown in those catalogs [1] [6] [7] [5]; finally, if any doubt remains, contact WIX technical support or the parts vendor’s interchange hotline to validate fitment before purchase, because the reporting shows WIX provides customer service channels for filter interchange questions [4].
5. Caveats, alternative viewpoints, and hidden agendas in the sources
The vendor listings emphasize availability and brand choice (WIX, Motorcraft, ATP, Baldwin, etc.), which can obscure whether an OEM or aftermarket filter is the best long-term choice for a particular VIN; parts marketplaces naturally favor listings and sales volume (eBay, PartsGeek) and do not substitute for VIN-specific confirmations, and while WIX promotes filtration benefits on its product pages, independent validation (vehicle- or VIN-level compatibility) is still required from the company’s finder or technical line [3] [1] [6] [5] [4].
