Original MANN-FILTER Air Filter C 25 860/5 – For Trucks, Buses and Utility Vehicles

MANN‑FILTER Air Filter C 25 860/5

The MANN‑FILTER Air Filter C 25 860/5 is a premium, OEM‑grade air filter designed specifically for heavy‑duty commercial vehicles such as trucks, buses and utility vans. It delivers exceptional protection against dust, dirt, oil mist and other contaminants while maintaining optimal airflow for engine performance.

Key Features & Benefits

• High‑Efficiency Filtration: The filter uses a multi‑layer media system that captures particles as small as 0.5 µm, ensuring the engine receives clean air and reducing wear on internal components.
• Durable Construction: Made from high‑quality, moisture‑resistant materials, the filter resists clogging even in harsh operating environments such as construction sites, mining operations or urban delivery routes.
• Optimised Airflow: The design balances filtration efficiency with low pressure drop, preserving engine torque and fuel economy while protecting against contaminants.
• Easy Installation: The cartridge fits standard MANN‑FILTER mounting brackets used on MAN, Solaris, LION’S CITY, HOCL, SL, NM and many other commercial models. No special tools are required.
• Long Service Life: In typical service conditions the filter can last up to 12 000 km or more before needing replacement, reducing maintenance costs for fleet operators.
• OEM Compatibility: Identical in performance and fitment to the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part numbers such as 81.08304‑0101, 81.08304‑0103, 9970‑7008877, 59004040, 10301827 and others.

Applications & Vehicle Compatibility

The C 25 860/5 is engineered for a wide range of commercial powertrains. Common applications include:

• MAN engines – models such as the MAN D0836, LION’S CITY, LION’S CLASSIC, HOCL, SL and NM series.
• SOLARIS URBINO family – Urbino 10, 12, 15, 18 and related variants.
• Other heavy‑duty chassis that use the same air intake geometry, including certain Renault 18 Variable 1.6 Turbo and Subaru models adapted for commercial use.

Because of its standardized dimensions (C 25 860/5), the filter is also suitable for aftermarket installations in utility vans, minibuses and specialized service vehicles that require robust air filtration.

Installation Guide

1. Turn off the engine and allow it to cool completely.
2. Locate the existing air filter housing – usually positioned near the front of the vehicle, behind the grille.
3. Remove the old filter cartridge by lifting the retaining clip or screws that secure the housing cover.
4. Clean any debris from the housing interior to ensure a proper seal.
5. Insert the new C 25 860/5 cartridge, aligning it with the mounting tabs. The filter should sit flush against the housing walls.
6. Secure the housing cover and tighten all fasteners evenly.
7. Start the engine and check for any unusual noises or airflow restrictions; the vehicle should run smoothly if installed correctly.

Maintenance & Replacement Schedule

While the C 25 860/5 is designed for extended service life, regular inspection remains essential. A practical maintenance routine includes:

• Visual check every 6 000 km or after exposure to dusty environments.
• Replace if the filter appears visibly clogged, discolored, or if engine performance drops (e.g., reduced acceleration or increased fuel consumption).
• Record replacement dates in a maintenance log for fleet tracking and compliance purposes.
