High-efficiency air filter designed to protect your engine.
Wix Filters air filter is engineered to ensure optimal airflow while preventing harmful contaminants from entering the engine. With a design that allows for up to 10,000 gallons of air to pass through for every gallon of fuel consumed, this filter plays a crucial role in maintaining engine performance and longevity. The filter media features nine pleats per inch, enhancing its ability to capture dust, soot, and carbon particles that can lead to engine wear.
The air filter is constructed with special pocket pleats held together by a specially formulated adhesive, providing a linear airflow path with low air restriction. This design not only improves filtration efficiency but also contributes to the overall durability of the filter. The urethane soft sealing gasket ensures a tight fit, while a mesh screen supports the filter media, enhancing its structural integrity.
This disposable air filter is made from high-quality paper and is designed to fit OEM specifications. Its dimensions of 9.96 inches in length, 6.85 inches in width, and 1.614 inches in height make it a suitable replacement for various applications. Regular replacement of the air filter is essential to prevent engine damage and maintain optimal performance.
