If you are searching for a P610260 cross reference, you probably need to find a replacement air filter that matches the original, or you want to stock one item that covers several brand numbers. This guide lists the part numbers that appear in cross-reference data for the P610260 panel air filter, explains how to read them, and shows how to avoid ordering the wrong filter.
IXIN Filter has made filters since 2010, including a wide range of air filters for trucks, buses, construction and agricultural machinery. We see cross-reference questions every day, so the checks below come from real buyer questions.
What Is the P610260 Air Filter?
The P610260 is a panel-style engine air filter with PowerCore media. According to Donaldson’s published data for the matching panel filter, it has these dimensions:
| Attribute | Detail |
|---|---|
| Filter Type | Engine air filter, panel style |
| Media Brand | PowerCore |
| Length | 664.9 mm (26.18 in) |
| Width | 132.8 mm (5.23 in) |
| Height | 235.6 mm (9.28 in) |
Donaldson’s page also lists Freightliner and Mercedes-Benz reference numbers (P610260 and DNP610260) for this filter, which suggests it is used on Daimler-built trucks. Always confirm the application by model, year and the number printed on your existing filter.
P610260 Cross Reference Table
The table below collects the part numbers that appear together in public cross-reference data. Use it as a starting point, not as a guarantee.
| Brand | Part Number |
|---|---|
| Donaldson | P610260 / P618478 |
| Freightliner | P610260 / DNP610260 / 0333648001 / P637497 |
| Mercedes-Benz | DNP610260 |
| Fleetguard | AF27879 / AF56500 |

| WIX | 49478 |
| NAPA | 9478 |
| Carquest | 83478 |
| Luber-finer | LAF6260 |
Reference numbers are listed for identification only. All brand names belong to their respective owners, and IXIN is not affiliated with them. Two different Fleetguard numbers appear in the data (AF27879 and AF56500), so check the exact number and dimensions with your supplier before ordering.
How to Use a P610260 Cross Reference Safely
A cross reference tells you which part numbers other sources have matched. It does not prove that two filters are identical. Follow these steps every time.
Step 1: Start from the number on the old filter
Read the part number printed on the filter you are replacing. Then search for that number in the cross reference table. If your number is not listed, send it to your supplier instead of guessing.
Step 2: Compare dimensions, not only part numbers
Measure the length, width and height of the old filter. For the P610260 panel filter, compare them with 664.9 × 132.8 × 235.6 mm. A difference of a few millimeters can stop the filter from seating in the housing.
Step 3: Check the housing and seal
Panel filters rely on gaskets and sealing surfaces. Look at the frame, the seal type and the housing shape. Two filters with the same outside size can still differ in the seal area.
Step 4: Confirm the application
Confirm your truck model, year and engine. Housings and mountings can change between model years, so a number that fits one year may not fit the next.
Step 5: Ask for a sample or a drawing
For bulk orders, ask for a drawing and a sample. Test-fit the sample before placing a larger order.
Common Mistakes When Using Cross Reference Data
Even experienced buyers make these errors with a P610260 cross reference:
- Trusting one source only: cross-reference sites sometimes disagree, so compare at least two sources
- Ignoring dimension differences: a matching number is not a matching size
- Mixing similar numbers: for example, AF27879 and AF56500 both appear for this filter, so confirm which one your supplier means
- Skipping the housing check: the housing decides whether the filter seals
- Treating cross references as guarantees: they are a guide, and you are responsible for confirming fit
For a broader view of cross-reference checks, our fuel filter cross reference guide uses the same approach for fuel filters.
Why Buyers Choose a Factory-Direct Replacement
Distributors and fleets often replace branded filters with factory-direct alternatives because:
- One replacement item can cover several brand numbers, which simplifies inventory
- Lead times are shorter when you deal with the manufacturer
- Specifications such as filter paper, metal thickness and packaging can be adjusted to your market
- Pricing is more predictable on repeat orders
When you compare suppliers, look for test data, sample support and clear fitment information. Our guides on how to audit a truck filter supplier in China before placing an order and cellulose vs synthetic filter paper in heavy-duty truck filters explain what to ask for.
If you want to check numbers yourself, Donaldson also publishes an official cross reference and ordering tool that you can use alongside the data above.
