What It Helps Address

• Restricted airflow from a dirty or clogged engine air filter

Installation Notes and Tips

Install the E-1796 in the factory air box as a drop-in replacement. Verify the round filter dimensions, flange size, and air box clearance before installation. The filter is pre-oiled, so no initial oiling is required before use. Re-oiling is part of normal maintenance after cleaning.
