    Air Filter, Old Style
    Post by foreverunstopable on Apr 22, 2006, 4:24pm

    Hey guys. I'm not sure if this is new news or not. I looked up the old parts list and didnt see it in there. We dont have many Napa's down here to get the GOLD 2050 which in my opinion didnt sit very well as the previous owner had one installed. I stopped in Advance Auto and basically opened ever air filter they had. A Purolator A30057 seems to be a "perfect" fit. It seals well, just fits in, and is easier for me to ger replacements of. Hope this helps out.

    NICE!!
    One question, does it have the extended rubber flange on the one end to seal to the can? Seems someone posted a part number with the flange some time back...

    I would say yes as its a perfect seal with the compression of the top clips

    If you look at this image, you can see that the upper part of the stock aircleaner has quite an overhanging lip or flange on it...does the one you found have this? For those who are sticklers for the stock parts, this is important.

    But I'm a stickler for off-the-shelf parts that are affordable, yet do the job properly. Would the extended top seal make a difference if the top pulls down tight against the gasket? Just wondering is all. I can't see a downside if it's tight, but I may be overlooking some aspect. What do you think?

    I would think it would seal if the top of the filter is in good contact with the lid when closed...light amount of grease on the top of the filter, then assemble, remove, and see if the grease transferred...if it isnt obvious anyway...

    The rubber flange is basically the watertight seal for fording...not an air seal per se...

    The fire department where I got my M715 gave me a list of Wix filter numbers. I purchased this one and it doesn’t have the lip but seemed to seal just fine.

    FYI:

    Air Filter : Wix 42050

    That is essentially the same as the Napa Gold 2050 listed in the first post of the thread that he said didnt fit to well in his application...

    Now I can see where it could draw air or water without the lip to seal it off. I agree it is ok for air because it will still go thru the filter.

    I also agree with Tim’s off-the-shelf parts --- cheaper is ALWAYS better.

    The Purolator A30057 crosses to a Wix 42055 not the 42050 I installed. Maybe I’ll try the 42055 next time but mine seem to fit ok.

    For everyday use, I carefully cut that extra rubber flange lip off a used stock filter to use as a gasket with the NAPA filter to provide sealing of the lid.
