Wix Filters Air Filter (MPN: 42177)

Essential air filter designed to protect engine performance and longevity.

Wix Filters air filters are engineered to ensure optimal engine performance by preventing harmful contaminants from entering the fuel mix. With the capability to handle up to 10,000 gallons of air for every gallon of fuel consumed, these filters play a crucial role in maintaining engine integrity. The air filter media features nine pleats per inch, which enhances its lifespan and increases its ability to capture damaging particles such as soot, carbon, and abrasives.

The design includes a mesh screen on both the inside and outside walls, providing additional strength and protection against backfire. Each filter is constructed with heat-resistant plastics and specially designed seals that secure the media, ensuring durability and reliability. This construction method prevents foreign particles from compromising engine components, thereby reducing the risk of premature wear on cylinder walls, pistons, and piston rings.
