Which part numbers does this filter replace?

This replacement is listed against Volvo Penta OEM reference 3825038 and Sierra aftermarket reference 18-79007.

Is this an OEM Volvo Penta filter?

No. This is an aftermarket replacement filter insert, not an original Volvo Penta-branded component.

How often should the filter be replaced?

Can I clean and reuse this filter?

Do not wash or reuse the filter unless the filter manufacturer specifically identifies it as serviceable. Replace a disposable filter insert when it is contaminated or restricted.

What happens if I run the engine without an air filter?

Operating without a properly installed air filter can allow abrasive dirt and debris into the intake system and engine. Always operate the engine with the correct filter installed and the housing securely closed.
