Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I know if this air filter fits my engine?

This filter is designed for Volvo Penta 30-40 series diesel engines. Cross-reference your engine model and original part number with the compatibility tables on this page. The most reliable method is to match the OEM part number (21646645 or 3582358).

How often should I replace my engine's air filter?

Replacement intervals depend on operating conditions. For typical leisure use, annually or every 200 hours is a general guideline. In dusty or demanding environments, more frequent checks and changes are recommended. Always consult your engine's service manual.

What are the signs of a clogged or failing air filter?

Common symptoms include reduced engine performance, increased black smoke from the exhaust, lower fuel efficiency, and the engine struggling to reach full RPMs. A visual inspection may show a filter clogged with dirt and debris.

Can I clean and reuse this paper filter?

No. This is a disposable paper element filter. Attempting to clean it with compressed air or liquids can create microscopic tears, compromising its filtration ability and potentially allowing harmful particles into the engine.

What is the difference between this and an OEM part?

This is an aftermarket part designed to meet or exceed original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications for fit, form, and function. It offers a cost-effective solution without sacrificing performance or quality materials.

Is any special tool required for installation?

Generally, no special tools are needed. The air filter housing cover is typically secured by simple clips or wing nuts. In some cases, a basic screwdriver or wrench may be required.

OEM vs. Aftermarket?

This listing is an aftermarket replacement (not OEM). Built to OEM-level specifications with comparable materials. Manufactured in an ISO 9002 facility, batch-inspected for consistency.
