Wix Engine Air Filter P/N:46280
Wix 42691 air filter for the 2014-2016 Peterbilt 579 6-cylinder 11.9L and other vehicles filters the air going into the engine. This Wix air filter traps dust and dirt in its pleated media so less of it reaches the cylinders.
Dirt packed into the pleats, sluggish acceleration or poorer fuel economy can mean the filter is clogged, though a fuel filter or a leaking intake hose can be behind the same signs, so find the cause before replacing anything. WIX HD filters are recommended for OEM air filter change intervals.
The vehicles it fits include the 2014-2016 Peterbilt 579 6-cylinder 11.9L, the 2008-2016 Peterbilt 320 6-cylinder 8.9L and the 2013-2016 320 6-cylinder 11.9L, and the 2013-2016 Peterbilt 365 6-cylinder 11.9L. Open the "Vehicles it fits" section to check your exact model and engine. This listing is one filter, and a truck takes a single one.
