WIX® 42493 - Air Filter

Air Filter (42493) by WIX®. Considering as much as 10,000 gallons of air must pass through the air filter for every gallon of fuel the engine consumes, WIX air filters play a vital part in preventing foreign particles like soot, carbon and abrasives from entering the fuel mix and damaging your engine. WIX air filter media features nine pleats per inch, resulting in a longer life and the ability to capture more engine-killing contaminants. Panel air filters provide air with a linear path and low air restriction. WIX panel air filters have special pocket pleats in the media, held together with specially formulated adhesive. The filter media is framed by a urethane soft sealing gasket and is supported by a mesh screen, which are both molded in place with the filter element.
