Detailed Description

The Wix WA11216 is a premium panel engine air filter engineered to maintain clean intake airflow while helping protect the engine from airborne contaminants. Its enhanced cellulose media uses phenolic resin treatment for added resistance to moisture ingestion, and the filter construction includes more media than comparable OES filters. For drivers maintaining a Nissan Sentra, Nissan Kicks, Nissan Murano, or INFINITI QX60, this filter supports regular service intervals with a direct-fit replacement format. The WA11216 is a practical choice for vehicles used in mixed driving conditions where dust, traffic, and frequent starts and stops are part of normal operation. The part number WA11216 also cross-references Nissan 16546-6LA0A for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Restricted airflow caused by a dirty or clogged engine air filter.
• Reduced intake protection from dust, road debris, and moisture exposure.
• Service replacement needs at OEM-style maintenance intervals.
• Air filtration demands from stop-and-go commuting and mixed road conditions.
• Fitment-specific replacement needs for select Nissan and INFINITI models.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the existing filter dimensions and housing style before installation. This filter uses a panel-style design with dimensions of 8.27 in. length, 6.86 in. width, and 1.38 in. height. Confirm vehicle application by model year and original equipment part number when servicing a Nissan Sentra, Nissan Kicks, Nissan Murano, or INFINITI QX60.
