Product Description

The K&N 33-2122 is a washable, reusable drop-in replacement air filter designed specifically for the Jeep Cherokee XJ (1996-2001), covering all trims - Sport, Classic, Country, Limited, and Base - with both the 2.5L four-cylinder and 4.0L High Output inline-six engines. The filter drops directly into the factory XJ airbox with zero modifications required, and is fully compatible with OEM engine electronics. Its 4-layer oiled cotton gauze construction delivers more airflow than a stock paper filter while maintaining reliable engine protection both on-road and off.

Built to last the life of the vehicle, the K&N 33-2122 only needs cleaning every 75,000 miles - making it a smart long-term investment for any XJ Cherokee owner. Whether running the tough 4.0L inline-six on the trail or the 2.5L four-cylinder for daily commuting, this filter provides improved throttle response and airflow efficiency at a fraction of the long-term cost of disposable paper filters.
