Febi Bilstein Air Filter Insert (172260) For Mercedes

On average, around 10,000 litres of air flows through the air filter per every one litre of fuel that is burned. This intake air contains sand and dust particles, soot particles, and abrasion from tyres and brakes - all of which needs to be filtered before reaching vital engine components. Without sufficient filtration these particles can enter the combustion area of the engine, resulting in increased wear on pistons, piston rings, cylinder walls, and valves.

Some suppliers save on the layer thickness of the filter material in order to be able to offer the air filter for cheaper, except this method can let significantly more particles into the engine. Air Filters from Febi offer the best possible filtration performance, i.e. the separation of large and small particles, as well as a high dust holding capacity, ensuring optimal engine running in the various load ranges.
