BMC Performance Air Filter | Porsche Boxster / Boxster S (986) 1996-2004 H6-2.5L/2.7L/3.2L | Sold Each

BMC FB140/01 Replacement Air Filter is a direct-fit panel for the 986 Boxster. It replaces the disposable paper element in the standard airbox and flows better, with nothing to modify and nothing to buy again.

BMC is the oiled-cotton option, made in Italy. Multi-layered cotton gauze soaked in low-viscosity oil, wrapped in an epoxy-coated alloy mesh that resists petrol fumes and humidity. BMC rates the media at 7 microns against roughly 10 for OEM paper. Supplied pre-oiled; cleaned and re-oiled with a BMC regeneration kit. Be sparing with the oil at service time — over-oiling is the one way to get filter oil where it should not be.

Key Benefits:

• Higher airflow than the original paper filter, with finer filtration
• Traps particles down to 7 microns — OEM paper is rated around 10

Note: BMC lists FB140/01 without a multi-filter annotation — it is supplied as a single filter. Clean and re-oil at service intervals with a BMC regeneration kit; use BMC filter oil only and apply it sparingly. Let the element dry fully before refitting.
