Built to match OEM dimensions for a simple swap and featuring a multi-layer Hex-D pleat media, the MT-295 captures more contaminants than standard paper filters while maintaining the air your engine needs to run efficiently for up to 15,000 miles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Max Thrust filter improve acceleration and fuel economy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MT-295 reduces airflow restriction compared with clogged or low-capacity filters, giving the engine more consistent access to clean air.
