• Enhanced cellulose media with phenolic resin treatment for moisture resistance.
• 30% more media than OES filters for increased filtering surface area.

Detailed Description

The WIX 46879 engine air filter is engineered to maintain clean airflow into the intake system while capturing airborne contaminants that can enter during everyday driving. Its panel construction, cellulose media, and moisture-resistant treatment make it a practical choice for Chrysler Pacifica owners who follow standard service intervals and drive in mixed conditions. The WIX 46879 is also cross-referenced to Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

For Chrysler Pacifica maintenance, this filter supports routine air filter replacement without changing the factory-style fitment approach. The WIX 46879 is a direct replacement air filter for 2004-2008 Chrysler Pacifica applications.

What It Helps Address
