Technical Specifications

Performance Highlights

The C12104 filter’s multi‑layer design ensures that particulate matter as small as 0.5 µm is captured before it reaches the combustion chamber. This level of filtration preserves engine oil quality, reduces wear on pistons and valves, and contributes to lower emissions. Additionally, its low pressure drop guarantees that the engine’s air intake system operates at peak efficiency, supporting optimal fuel economy.

Installation Guide

1. Prepare the Vehicle: Park on a level surface, engage the parking brake, and open the hood to access the air filter housing.
2. Remove Old Filter: Unscrew or unclamp the filter cover, carefully lift out the worn filter element, and discard it responsibly.
3. Insert New C12104: Place the new filter into the housing, ensuring that the airflow direction arrow points correctly. Secure the cover with the original fasteners.
4. Check for Leaks: Inspect around the filter seal to confirm a tight fit; any gaps may allow unfiltered air to enter.
5. Close Hood and Test: Lower the hood, start the engine, and listen for normal idle. The vehicle should run smoothly with no unusual noises.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the filter every 12,000–15,000 miles or as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
• Avoid using compressed air to clean the housing; instead, remove and replace the filter entirely.
• Store spare filters in a dry, dust‑free environment to preserve their integrity.
