ECOGARD Engine Air Filter XA11074 — Fits Mercedes‑Benz 2012–2019, High-Capacity Multilayer Media

The ECOGARD XA11074 is a high-capacity replacement engine air filter engineered to block dust and debris while supporting consistent engine breathing in select Mercedes‑Benz 3.5L and 3.0L models.

Keeping the engine intake clean is one of the easiest ways to protect performance and longevity. The ECOGARD XA11074 is designed as a direct-fit replacement for many Mercedes‑Benz vehicles from 2012–2019, offering multilayer filter media that captures contaminants before they reach sensitive components. It’s intended to be replaced on routine intervals—about every 12,000 miles or as your vehicle manufacturer advises—to help maintain steady airflow and stable engine operation between services.

What does this filter do for my Mercedes-Benz?

It prevents airborne particles—dust, pollen, road debris—from entering the intake system, reducing wear and helping the engine manage consistent airflow. That stable airflow supports predictable throttle response and fuel usage over time.

• High-capacity media captures fine and coarse particulates.
• Direct-fit design matches factory dimensions for easy installation.
• Helps preserve downstream components like mass airflow sensors.

Which models and years will XA11074 fit?

XA11074 fits a range of Mercedes‑Benz V6 and V6‑based applications built around 3.5L and certain 3.0L engines. Always confirm fitment with your specific VIN or the vehicle filter lookup to ensure correct application before purchasing.

• Common compatible vehicles: C300/C350, E300/E350/E400, SLK350, GLK350, ML350, R350, GLE350, GLE450 AMG
• Model years commonly covered: 2012–2019 (see fitment list for exact years)
• Replaces Luber-finer AF5699; cross-check part numbers if needed

How difficult is installation and when should I replace it?

Most installations are straightforward and require few or no tools: access the airbox, remove the old element, seat the new filter, and close the housing. ECOGARD recommends replacing the filter approximately every 12,000 miles or according to the vehicle manufacturer’s maintenance schedule.

• Typical time: a few minutes to half an hour depending on access.
• Inspect more often in dusty or urban environments.
• Use the vehicle manufacturer’s interval as the final authority.

What performance characteristics should I expect?

This filter balances particle capture with maintained airflow to help the engine run consistently between services. It’s built to match factory airflow profiles so there are no surprises in driveability when properly installed.

• Engine breathing preserved for predictable throttle feel.
• Media designed for efficient contaminant capture without excessive restriction.
• Designed to protect engine components that rely on clean intake air.

Who this product is for: The ECOGARD XA11074 is aimed at Mercedes‑Benz owners, independent mechanics, and fleet technicians who need a reliable, direct‑fit replacement for the factory engine air filter. It’s a practical choice for drivers who follow recommended maintenance intervals and want to protect engine components from airborne contaminants without altering factory airflow characteristics.
