Baldwin Filters RS3997 Automotive Air Filter

Product Description

The BALDWIN FILTERS RS3997 is a replacement automotive air filter designed to remove airborne contaminants from the intake air stream before they reach the engine. With an outside diameter of 5-17/32 inches and an overall length of 20-9/16 inches, this filter fits applications where precise dimensional matching is required for proper sealing and airflow. It is installed by automotive and fleet maintenance technicians as part of routine preventive maintenance or whenever intake restriction is detected during service.

This air filter is suited for automotive and light-duty applications requiring a radial-seal or panel-style intake filter of this size class.
