MANN-FILTER Air Filter C 30 198 – For Passenger Cars

The MANN‑FILTER Air Filter C 30 198 is a high‑performance filtration solution engineered for passenger vehicles that demand reliable engine protection and optimal airflow. Designed with precision, this filter delivers superior dust rejection while maintaining low resistance to air flow, ensuring your engine receives clean, oxygenated air for efficient combustion.

Key Features & Technical Specifications

• Model: C 30 198
• Application: Passenger cars (compact, mid‑size, and full‑size)
• Material: Premium multi‑layer cellulose media with a protective outer shell
• Airflow Resistance: Low pressure drop for maximum engine performance
• Dust Rejection: Up to 99.9% particle removal (≤5 µm)
• Dimensions: Standard size compatible with most OEM and aftermarket housings
• Durability: Designed for extended service intervals without compromising filtration efficiency
• Certification: Meets or exceeds MANN‑FILTER quality standards (ISO, DIN)

Performance Benefits

The C 30 198 filter’s advanced media construction ensures that fine particulates are captured before they reach the engine. This protects critical components such as pistons, valves, and fuel injectors from abrasive wear, extending engine life. Additionally, its low airflow resistance allows the engine to breathe freely, which can translate into improved throttle response and slightly higher horsepower.

Compatibility & Vehicle Coverage

This filter is engineered for a wide range of passenger cars across multiple brands and models. It fits seamlessly in vehicles that originally shipped with a C 30 series air filter, including:

• Dodge Nitro (2.8 L CRD, 4.0 L V6)
• Jeep Cherokee (various engine options)
• Chrysler and Fiat Chrysler models with the K05189933AA or K68037059AA codes
• Other passenger cars that specify a C 30 series filter in their service manual

Because of its standardized dimensions, the filter can also be used as an aftermarket replacement for vehicles that originally came with different air filter models but share similar housing geometry.

Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Park the vehicle on a level surface, engage the parking brake, and allow the engine to cool.
2. Accessing the Filter Housing: Remove any covers or panels that obstruct access to the air filter box. Consult your vehicle’s service manual for specific instructions.
3. Removing the Old Filter: Gently lift the old filter out of its housing, noting how it sits (orientation matters). Dispose of it responsibly.
4. Installing the New Filter: Place the C 30 198 into the housing with the airflow arrow pointing in the correct direction. Ensure a snug fit against all edges to prevent air leaks.
5. Reassembly: Replace any covers or panels removed during access. Tighten all fasteners securely but avoid over‑tightening.
6. Final Check: Start the engine and listen for any unusual noises that might indicate a loose filter or improper installation.

Maintenance & Service Interval

The C 30 198 is designed to maintain high filtration performance over extended periods. While exact intervals vary by driving conditions, a general recommendation is:

• Every 12,000–15,000 km (7,500–9,300 mi) for typical urban and highway use.
• Every 8,000–10,000 km (5,000–6,200 mi) in dusty or high‑pollution environments.

Regular inspection is advised: if the filter appears visibly dirty or clogged, replace it sooner to preserve engine efficiency.
