Baldwin Filters PA3698 Automotive Air Filter

Product Description

The BALDWIN FILTERS PA3698 is a replacement automotive air filter designed to protect internal combustion engines from airborne contaminants. It fits inline between the intake ducting and the engine air intake, providing a barrier against dust, debris, and particulate matter that cause accelerated wear on cylinders, pistons, and valves. The filter measures 6.875 inches in outside diameter and 12.375 inches in overall length, making it a direct fit for applications sized to those specifications. Installation is straightforward and is typically handled by fleet mechanics, diesel technicians, or experienced equipment operators during scheduled maintenance intervals.

The PA3698 is suited for automotive and light-to-medium duty vehicle applications where engine air filtration is required. Its dimensions place it in a category commonly found on trucks, larger passenger vehicles, or off-highway equipment with comparable air cleaner housings. It is intended as an OEM-style service replacement to maintain engine performance and extend service life between overhaul intervals.
