Detailed Description

WIX WA10713 is a premium panel air filter made for normal and severe driving conditions, including stop-and-go traffic, dirt roads, construction zones, short trips, and interstate travel. The enhanced cellulose media is treated for durability against moisture ingestion, while the seal material is engineered to handle hot and cold temperature swings where applicable.
