Air filter replcement

[Robert & Teri Rahn]

Today for the first time after owning 7 wanderlodges I checked the air
filter in our 88 pt 40. I dont know why I never did it, I always
thought it would be fine since it was so big and usually the vaccume
gauge thing registered in the green. Anyway, I took it out today and it
was quite dirty a lot of pine needles and dust. It is a baldwin filter
and napa has it for 110 dollars, but I was wondering if anyone makes a
less restrictive cleanable filter. Should I replace it even though the
indicator is registering green? I could just blow it off with the
compressor I guess.

I think your visual inspection trumps the indicator. I've heard you can blow
out most any air filter once but beyond that, the fibers begin tangling up and
degrading. Considering what it protects, you can't be too careful. Brad Barton

Robert,

That price sounds about right for NAPA, but you can get that filter
much cheaper at a truck parts store. I usually get the Donaldson
Duralife brand for about $40-50 or so at my local supplier.

I believe the cross reference for that should be as follows:
Air Filter
AC A760C
Baldwin PA2501
Donaldson (Duralife) P12-9396
Donaldson EAF5024
(Extended Life)

Fleetguard 1:AF-954M
FRAM CA3517
Lubrifiner LAF9396
Purolator AF3057
WIX 42610
NAPA FIL2610

If it looks really dirty, I would probably change it out.
