A0040947404 Mercedes-Benz Trucks Filter Element

This thing’s job is pretty straightforward – it cleans the air that goes into your engine. It filters out dust, dirt, pollen, bugs…basically anything that shouldn't be getting burned inside. It’s made of a pleated material, kind of like a paper or fabric, with a lot of surface area to trap all that stuff. Think of it as the first line of defense for your engine. Air comes in, this filter grabs the bad stuff, and then clean air gets sent to the engine to help make power. It sits inside an air box, usually pretty easily accessible under the hood. It's a pretty fundamental part of the intake system. A clean air filter keeps everything running smoothly. A dirty one? That's where things get tough. It makes the engine work harder to pull in air, which hurts fuel economy. It can also reduce engine power, you'll notice if it’s really bad – the car might feel sluggish. Plus, letting dirty air in can wear down internal engine parts over time. They don’t last forever, so replacing it is just a basic maintenance item. You can find these pretty easily, Fixparts Online has a good selection, and it’s something you can often do yourself if you’re handy. It’s a small part, but it acts like a shield for a very expensive piece of machinery. Long-term solution: Filter Element (MPN A0040947404) is backed by a 12-month warranty!
