Air Filtration

It takes only eight ounces of dirt to destroy a heavy duty engine. The typical off-road vehicle is exposed to 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 tons of airborne dirt each year, meaning first-rate air filtration is critical to the life of the engine.

WIX Heavy Duty air filters protect an off-road vehicle’s air intake system from contaminants like soot, dirt and debris, which can cause premature engine wear and failure.

One of the most important elements when considering HD air filters is the housing gasket when required. When selecting air filters, customers must be sure the gasket is designed to not only fit multiple housings, but that it’s also the right design for the application. WIX HD air filters feature multiple, pre-formed housing bolt holes, which assure the proper seal and eliminate improper gasket usage and inventory issues.

Another key element of HD air filters is the end caps, which should be designed with structure and fit in mind. WIX HD air filters are drawn in a concave shape, which allows for ease of installation and ensures exacting torque-load distribution — meaning the gasket seals and the filter become one with the housing to protect the engine.

WIX Filters goes the extra mile during the design and construction of its HD air filters. Every element on WIX’s HD air filters, from the patented silicone gaskets to the oven-cured plastisol media stabilization beads, assure that its customers don’t have to worry while going down whatever “road” they’re on.
