WIX Racing Filters 42524 Premium Panel Air Filter Dry Paper Element

The WIX Racing Filters 42524 is a premium replacement panel air filter engineered to deliver superior engine protection under both normal and demanding driving conditions. Whether facing stop-and-go traffic, dirt roads, construction sites, or extended highway travel, this dry panel filter is built to perform reliably at every OEM-recommended service interval.

Key Features:

• 30% more filter media than standard OES filters for enhanced dirt-holding capacity and service life
• Phenolic resin-treated enhanced cellulose media provides outstanding durability against moisture ingestion
• Special pocket pleats held together with specially formulated adhesive allow air to flow with low restriction along a linear path
• Urethane sealing gasket frames the filter media and is molded in place for a secure, leak-free fit
• High-tear strength polyurethane seal withstands extreme hot and cold temperature conditions
• Mesh screen support (where applicable) provides structural protection against backfires and media damage
• ISO 5011 laboratory tested at a minimum of 99.5% filtration efficiency
• Sold individually as a direct OEM replacement

The 42524 uses application-specific media with special pleating, corrugation, and embossing to maintain low initial restriction while trapping contaminants — including soot, carbon, abrasives, and fine dust particles — deep within the media matrix.
