Baldwin Filters PA1712 Automotive Air Filter Element

Product Description

The BALDWIN FILTERS PA1712 is a round air filter element designed for automotive and light-duty equipment applications. It captures airborne dust and particulates before they reach the engine intake, helping maintain clean airflow and protecting internal engine components. The element measures 4.406 inches in outside diameter and 2.375 inches overall length. At 0.442 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight replacement part suitable for installation by automotive technicians and equipment service professionals working in dusty or demanding work environments.

This air filter element is used in automotive engines and light equipment systems where a round panel- or canister-style air filtration element is required. It is a direct OEM-style replacement, fitting systems that originally used compatible elements from ACDelco, Caterpillar, Donaldson, Fram, GMC, Hastings, International, John Deere, Purolator, and Wix. Typical installation scenarios include routine filter service during preventive maintenance intervals on cars, trucks, and small equipment.

Follow equipment manufacturer service intervals for filter replacement to maintain proper airflow and engine protection.
