C1996 MANN Filter Air Filter

The MANN Filter C1996 is an engine air filter designed to protect your vehicle's engine by filtering out airborne contaminants. Commonly found in various automotive applications, this filter ensures that only clean air reaches the combustion chamber. By maintaining a clean air supply, the filter optimizes engine power, extends engine life, and supports efficient fuel consumption. This unit is proudly made in Germany and measures 185 x 185 x 105 mm. Dimensions are provided by the supplier and may include packaging dimensions. Air filters are critical engine components situated between the air intake and throttle body, preventing abrasive particulate matter from entering the engine. Constructed typically of pleated cellulose or synthetic media, they provide a large surface area for maximizing airflow while trapping contaminants as small as 5 microns. Filter efficiency is rated by percentage of particle capture, influencing engine performance and longevity. Variations include paper, cotton gauze, and non-woven synthetic materials, each offering differing airflow and filtration balances. Proper sealing via gasket or mounting interface is essential to prevent unfiltered air bypass.
