WIX 42982 Engine Air Filter

Description:

The WIX 42982 Air Filter is used in heavy-duty engine air intake systems for filtering airborne contaminants before air enters diesel and industrial engines. Commonly installed in International 5000, 5070, and F5070 heavy-duty trucks from 1990–1999 requiring high-capacity cylindrical air filtration systems. Maintenance teams, diesel technicians, and fleet service facilities use this air filter for preventive maintenance, engine protection, and replacement of clogged or contaminated engine air intake filters.

Applications:

The WIX 42982 air filter is widely used in heavy-duty diesel environments requiring reliable filtration of dust, dirt, soot, and airborne debris to protect turbocharged diesel engines from premature wear and airflow restriction. It is commonly integrated into International Harvester/Navistar 5000 series, 5070, and F5070 truck platforms equipped with Cummins and Caterpillar diesel engines where clean intake airflow is critical for maintaining engine performance, fuel efficiency, and long-term engine reliability. The heavy-duty cylindrical design supports demanding fleet, industrial, and commercial trucking applications.
