Product Description

The BALDWIN FILTERS PA1689 is a replacement automotive air filter designed to protect internal combustion engines from airborne contaminants. It filters incoming air before it reaches the engine, helping to maintain proper combustion efficiency and protect cylinder walls, pistons, and valves from abrasive particulate. The PA1689 measures 7.3125 inches in outside diameter and 6.5 inches in overall length, making it a dimensionally specific fit for the applications it serves. Weighing 2 pounds, it is a solid, direct-replacement unit suited for professional installation in automotive and light-duty vehicle applications.

This filter is intended for automotive air intake systems where a round-style air filter element is required. It is typically installed during preventive maintenance intervals or when restricted airflow is detected during diagnostics. The PA1689 is appropriate for use by automotive technicians and fleet maintenance professionals working on vehicles that call out this specific filter geometry.
