Detailed Product Information
Wix 46229 uses an enhanced cellulose-based construction with a high-tear-strength polyurethane seal when applicable, helping the filter maintain its shape through hot and cold temperature swings. The round panel design measures 10.080 inches at the top outer diameter, 9.000 inches at the bottom outer diameter, and 1.570 inches in height, with a 60 CFM rating for light-duty use. This part cross-references Toyota (e.g., 17801-15060, 17801-15060-83) for the same application.
For Toyota Corolla owners, the Wix 46229 provides a service replacement option that matches the original air filter change interval and supports consistent airflow management in everyday driving. The part number 46229 is also useful when comparing replacement options across catalog listings.
Common Problems It Can Address
