Detailed Description

Pronto PA3196 is an engine air filter made for vehicles that use a cylindrical air cleaner element in the listed fitment range. Its cellulose media is intended for routine engine air filtration service, helping maintain proper airflow through the intake system while capturing airborne contaminants before they reach the engine. This part number, PA3196, is listed across multiple interchange references, which helps simplify replacement matching for Buick Regal, Buick Riviera, Buick LeSabre, and related GM models.

What It Helps Address

• Restricted airflow caused by a dirty or clogged air filter
• Dust and debris entering the intake system
• Reduced filtration performance from an aged filter element
• Routine maintenance needs on older Buick, Oldsmobile, Cadillac, Chevrolet, and Pontiac vehicles

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the air cleaner housing dimensions and compare the filter shape and measurements before installation. Confirm the vehicle application against the listed fitment for your exact year and model, including Buick Regal, Buick Riviera, Buick LeSabre, Buick Century, Chevrolet Monte Carlo, Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera, Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser, Oldsmobile 98, Cadillac Allante, and Pontiac Firebird. Replace the filter at normal service intervals or sooner if the element is visibly loaded with dirt.

Quality Assurance
