Baldwin Filters PA3493 Automotive Air Filter

Product Description

The BALDWIN FILTERS PA3493 is an automotive air filter designed to remove airborne contaminants from the intake air stream before it enters the engine. Air filters in this category protect combustion components from dust, dirt, and particulate, helping maintain engine efficiency and extend service intervals. The PA3493 is a direct-fit replacement unit suited for installation by fleet maintenance technicians, heavy-equipment mechanics, and experienced service professionals working on compatible vehicles or equipment.

This air filter is used in automotive and light-to-medium duty applications where intake air filtration is required. It is compatible with equipment calling for the Farr 114880-003A, making it a cross-reference replacement for that application. Installation typically occurs during scheduled preventive maintenance or when airflow restriction readings indicate the filter has reached end of service life.
