The K&N 33-5032 replacement air filter is designed to increase horsepower for 2015-2016 Mercedes Benz 3.0L V6 Turbo models by helping to minimize intake tract restriction and increase airflow

For almost 100 years, Mercedes Benz has been a pioneer and innovator of refined, performance automobiles. 2015 and 2016 Mercedes models continue that legacy with brilliant turbocharged 3.0 liter V6 engines, advanced driver aids, top-notch handling, and style. A car with such performance and heritage deserves aftermarket upgrades with the same credentials; such as the K&N 33-5032 2015-2016 Mercedes 3.0L V6 Turbo replacement air filter.

The 33-5032 K&N replacement air filter for Mercedes models represents the core of K&N’s founders’ revolutionary design with 45+ years of additional refinement

The 33-5032 K&N replacement air filter for Mercedes models is constructed with K&N’s premium oiled cotton gauze filter media.

The oil on the filter media acts as a tacking agent to capture incoming dirt and provides excellent engine protection. A precision-molded, durable urethane sealing lip houses the filter media in the 33-5032 K&N replacement air filter and creates an air-tight seal in the factory air box.

Another benefit of the superior design of K&N replacement air filters is that they are washable and reusable. Just once approximately every 50,000 miles, depending on driving conditions, remove the 33-5032 K&N filter from your Mercedes and service it with a K&N Recharger air filter service kit .

K&N replacement air filters are a simple performance upgrade over disposable air filters and most K&N air filters have a list of air filter cross references, which is especially helpful in HD Trucking applications

Imagine walking into an auto parts store to find a replacement part for your vehicle. The employee behind the counter asks for the year, make, model, and engine size and you provide the information. You tell him the part you need, only for him to say "I don't list anything." You know the part exists because it's on your vehicle, but this auto parts employee can't help you.
