Detailed Product Description

The Baldwin RS3539 engine air filter is specifically designed to meet the filtration needs of heavy-duty trucks such as Freightliner, Kenworth, Peterbilt, and Western Star. Its 3 3/4 inch dust ejector hole helps to expel dust particles effectively, reducing the risk of engine contamination. The filter’s inside-out flow direction ensures that air passes through the filter media in a way that maximizes particle capture and extends filter life.

The included gasket (G501-AF) ensures a secure seal, preventing unfiltered air from entering the engine. This filter is a direct replacement for the Donaldson P534816, making it a reliable option for maintenance and replacement needs.
