Baldwin Filters PA31006 Endura Panel Air Filter Element

Product Description

The BALDWIN FILTERS PA31006 is an Endura Panel Air Filter Element designed for automotive and heavy-duty engine air intake systems. Measuring 9.094 inches in length, 7.594 inches in width, and 13.75 inches in height, this panel-style element provides high-efficiency filtration to protect engine components from airborne contaminants. It features expanded metal support construction that resists structural failure under sustained airflow demands. Licensed technicians and fleet maintenance professionals install this element as part of routine air system service on diesel and gasoline-powered equipment.

The PA31006 is suited for automotive and commercial vehicle applications where a panel-style air element is specified. It serves as a direct replacement for Cummins 5288553, making it a compatible fit for equipment originally equipped with that OEM part. The Endura construction is intended for applications where durability and filtration integrity are priorities, including vocational trucks and work vehicles operating in dusty or high-demand environments.

Key Features

• Expanded metal support structure prevents collapse and structural failure under load
• High-efficiency media captures airborne contaminants before they enter the intake system
• No contaminant bypass design ensures all intake air passes through the filter media
• Endura construction resists deterioration for extended service life in demanding conditions
• Direct replacement for Cummins 5288553

Compatibility

Replaces Cummins 5288553. Designed as an OEM-style replacement panel air filter element for compatible automotive and commercial vehicle air intake systems specifying those dimensions and fitment.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a qualified automotive or diesel technician. Before servicing the air filter housing, shut down the engine and allow it to cool. Inspect the filter housing and sealing surfaces for debris or damage before installing the new element. Ensure the element seats fully and the housing is secured before returning the system to service.
