Detailed Description

WIX 49728 is an engine air filter designed around the dimensions and sealing requirements of Mini intake systems. The filter measures 14.280 inches long, 5.755 inches wide, and 1.585 inches high, with a closed top and synthetic media in a panel filter layout. For Mini Cooper and Mini Cooper Countryman owners, this part number provides a direct replacement option for routine air filter service intervals.

This part cross-references FRAM CA10694 and Bosch F 026 400 219 for the same application. The WIX 49728 is also listed for select Mini Cooper, Cooper Countryman, and Cooper Paceman models, making it a practical search match when replacing an OE-style air filter.

What It Helps Address

• Restricted airflow from a dirty or loaded engine air filter
• Dust and debris entering the intake system during stop-and-go driving
• Reduced filtration performance on dirt roads or construction-zone travel
• Moisture-related media breakdown in wet operating conditions
• Service replacement needs for Mini Cooper air filter maintenance

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the existing filter dimensions and housing style before installation. Confirm the vehicle application by year and model, especially on Mini Cooper, Mini Cooper Countryman, and Mini Cooper Paceman platforms. Replace the filter at the OEM air filter change interval or sooner if driving conditions are severe, such as frequent short trips, heavy traffic, or dusty roads.

WIX builds this filter with enhanced cellulose media and a durable sealing design to support consistent filtration performance. The WIX 49728 is laboratory tested to ISO 5011 standards and is rated at least 99.5% efficiency based on Wix 42389 testing.
