Product Details

WIX WA10255 is an engine air filter made for normal and severe driving conditions, including dirt roads, construction zones, interstate travel, and frequent short-trip use. It is listed for 2013-2022 Buick Encore and 2013-2022 Chevrolet Trax, with OE reference 95021102 noted in the fitment data for later model years. This part number, WA10255, is also a direct reference point when searching for a replacement air filter for Buick Encore and Chevrolet Trax models.

The filter media is engineered for durability against moisture ingestion, while the polyurethane seal is used where applicable to handle hot and cold temperature swings. For shoppers comparing replacement options, WA10255 cross-references ACDelco A 3184 C for the same application.

Common Reasons to Replace

• Restricted airflow from a dirty or loaded air filter
• Dust and debris entering the intake system
• Reduced filtration performance during stop-and-go driving
• Maintenance replacement at the OEM air filter interval
• Service needs on Buick Encore or Chevrolet Trax intake systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Install the filter in the factory air cleaner housing and confirm the seal seats evenly around the perimeter. Check the airbox for leaves, dirt, or debris before closing it, and verify the filter orientation matches the original part. For Buick Encore and Chevrolet Trax service, compare the old filter to WA10255 before installation to confirm the dimensions and closed-top configuration.
