About this item

MAHLE engine air filter LX 568 // Dimensions (mm): Outer Diameter: 277, Height: 62 // Premium filter in OE quality
High quality filter material for durability, meeting vehicle manufacturer’s quality, maximising fuel efficiency
Captures up to 99.98% of toxic dust, soot, and tyre particles; High dust holding capacity
Impregnated with special synthetic resin that increases the resistance of the filter to water and chemicals; Glue beads on the backs of the folds help the filter elements retain their shape
Prevents premature wear of valves, cylinder surfaces, piston rings, bearings, and other engine components; Must be replaced at the intervals prescribed by the vehicle manufacturer

From the manufacturer

Our filter media range consists of specially treated papers, fleeces, or multilayer filter media, depending on the specification and application.

MAHLE paper filters are made of high-quality cellulose fibres impregnated with special resins for use in air, fuel, oil, and hydraulic filters.

Plastic fibers provide the basic material for fleeces—the finer the fiber, the better the retention. The fleeces are applied in layers, whereby the fineness of the fibers and the fleece density increase from the dirty to the clean side. This funnel effect allows retention efficiencies of up to 99.9% with low flow resistance.

Multilayer filter media are predominantly installed in modern diesel fuel injection systems. Compared with conventional paper filters, the combination of fleece and paper has an absorption capacity that is up to 40% higher.

Clean intake air is essential for optimal engine output. MAHLE air filters keep out up to 99.9% of dust, soot, and tire debris, and contribute to an optimal air–fuel mixture.

The high particle retention capacity ensures a long service life—even under extreme conditions such as heat, cold, or chemical influences.

It also prevents premature wear of the valves, cylinder surfaces, piston rings, bearings, and other engine components.

To ensure perfect filter performance, all filters must be replaced within the intervals prescribed by the automobile manufacturer.
