Product Description

The K&N E-1996 is a performance drop-in replacement air filter engineered for the Audi A8 Quattro 4.2 L V8 (2010-2013). By utilizing high-flow cotton gauze media treated with K&N's signature oil, this filter improves airflow into the engine while still trapping harmful contaminants - giving you performance and protection in one upgrade.

For owners looking to maximize responsiveness and engine efficiency in their A8, the E-1996 offers a reliable upgrade from the factory paper filter. Installation is straightforward: simply remove the original filters from the airbox and install the pre-oiled K&N unit. Then, maintain via cleaning approximately every 75,000 miles under normal conditions. Because your vehicle requires two of these filters (one for each bank), you'll want to order accordingly.

Designed for the 4.2 L V8 Gas Quattro AWD model - ensure your vehicle matches this configuration before purchase. Fitment for 2014 or later years, or other engine variants is unconfirmed at time of listing. This is a lifetime-use filter under K&N's warranty, making it a cost-effective performance choice for long-term ownership.
