Troubleshooting & FAQ
How often should I replace my engine's air filter?
For marine diesel engines, it is best to check the filter as part of your regular maintenance schedule (e.g., every 100-200 hours). Replace it annually or sooner if you notice signs of blockage or operate in particularly dusty or salty environments.
What are the signs of a clogged or failing air filter?
Common symptoms include reduced engine performance, increased black smoke from the exhaust, higher fuel consumption, and the engine struggling to reach full RPM. A visual inspection may also show excessive dirt or debris on the filter media.
Does this filter fit inside the original Volvo Penta housing?
Yes, this is designed as a direct-fit replacement. It fits inside the factory turbo connection hose and original air filter housing without any modifications required.
What is the main difference between this filter and an OEM part?
Our aftermarket filter is engineered to meet or exceed original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications for fit, form, and function. The primary differences are the price point and the branding. We ensure performance and material quality are comparable to the original part.
