Key Features

• Panel-style high performance air filter for factory air box replacement
• Layered cotton gauze media with pre-oiled construction

Detailed Description

The K&N 33-2496 replacement air filter is engineered for drivers who want a reusable intake filter with a direct-fit design. Its panel shape, flexible frame, and pre-oiled cotton gauze media are intended to work with the stock air box while supporting improved airflow and contaminant capture. This makes it a practical upgrade for Chevrolet Camaro, Cadillac ATS, and Cadillac CTS applications where a serviceable performance filter is preferred. The K&N 33-2496 is also designed for long-term use, reducing the need for frequent filter replacement.

K&N’s washable filter design is a strong fit for owners looking for a reusable engine air filter that installs in the factory air box without changing the intake layout. This part cross-references Wix WA10646 for the same application.

What It Is Used For

• Restricted airflow caused by a dirty or aging engine air filter
• Routine replacement of a factory panel air filter
• Drivers seeking a washable, reusable intake filter
• Maintaining filtration performance in daily-driven vehicles
• Replacing a stock filter with a serviceable performance option

Installation Notes and Tips

Install the filter in the factory air box following the vehicle service procedure. Verify the air box is clean before installation, and inspect the sealing surfaces to ensure proper seating. Because this is a pre-oiled filter, handle it carefully during installation to avoid excess oil transfer.

Quality Assurance

K&N backs this filter with a 10-Year/Million Mile Limited Warranty. The reusable design and washable construction are part of K&N’s long-service replacement filter lineup.
