Baldwin Filters PA3494 Automotive Air Filter

Product Description

The BALDWIN FILTERS PA3494 is a replacement automotive air filter designed to remove airborne contaminants from the intake air stream before they reach the engine. It sits between the incoming air and the engine intake, trapping dust, dirt, and debris that would otherwise cause premature wear on internal components. Licensed automotive technicians and fleet service professionals install this filter as a routine maintenance item during scheduled service intervals. The filter is rated under UNSPSC Code 40161505, placing it in the standard filtration product category for trade procurement and fleet management systems.

The PA3494 is used in automotive applications requiring a direct-fit air filter replacement. It is suited for passenger vehicles and light-duty applications where the original equipment filter matches this form factor. The part is stocked at a minimum order quantity of one unit, making it practical for single-vehicle service as well as bulk fleet maintenance orders.
