Product Details

Wix 42994 is a breather filter used in crankcase ventilation systems to help manage airflow while filtering contaminants from the breather path. Filtration is a core part of maintenance, and Wix builds this element with synthetic media and OE-style proportions to support service on older vehicles that use a crankcase breather element. This part cross-references ACDelco FB73 and FRAM BA3642 for the same application. It is listed across many classic domestic platforms, including Chevrolet Camaro, Pontiac Grand Prix, and Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme fitments.

What This Part Helps Address

Dirty or restricted crankcase breather media
Reduced ventilation through a worn breather element
Contaminant buildup in the breather path
Service replacement needs on aging emission control systems
Fitment matching for classic Chevrolet, Pontiac, Buick, GMC, and Oldsmobile applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the existing breather element dimensions before installation and compare the closed-top style to the original part. Confirm vehicle application by year, make, and model, especially on older platforms where engine configurations can vary. Fits 1979-1987 Buick Regal, N/A; Fits 1982-1986 Chevrolet Camaro, N/A; Fits 1982-1987 Pontiac Firebird, N/A. Additional fitment coverage includes 1985-1988 Chevrolet Astro, 1985-1988 GMC Safari, and 1979-1985 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, all in N/A position listings.

Quality Assurance
