Detailed Description

WIX Premium Panel Air Filters are engineered with more media than many original equipment service filters and use a phenolic resin-treated cellulose blend for added resistance to moisture exposure. The polyurethane seal is used where applicable to help maintain its shape through hot and cold temperature swings. For drivers maintaining a Toyota Camry, Toyota Sienna, Toyota Avalon, or Lexus ES300, this filter offers a straightforward replacement that follows the factory service approach.

This part cross-references FRAM CA7351 and Purolator AF 4690 for the same application.
