About 0170942502 - Air Filter
Published catalog details are identification references. They do not establish current stock, supplied condition, or confirmed fitment for your engine.

Technical Notes: Filters
Oil, fuel, and air filters protect the most expensive parts of the engine: bearings, injectors, and turbochargers. MTU specifies filter fineness and capacity for each series, and fuel filtration in particular is matched to the injection system, because common-rail injectors tolerate far less contamination than older pump-and-nozzle systems.
When This Type of Part Is Usually Replaced
- the scheduled service interval in the maintenance schedule is reached
- the differential-pressure indicator or a filter alarm signals restriction
- fuel contamination, water in fuel, or a dust ingress event has occurred
Checks Before Ordering
- Replace primary and secondary fuel filters together unless the maintenance schedule says otherwise
- Easy-change and spin-on versions of a filter are not always interchangeable on the same housing
- Keep one complete filter set per engine on board or on site for unplanned changes
