I'm preparing to tackle my first oil change and was going to do the air filters as well. When I go to the CAT parts site and enter the air filter part number (7W-5040) I see the filter, but I'm not seeing the outer foam filter. Does anyone know if that comes with the air filter, or do I need to purchase that separately? I'm struggling to find a part number for it.
The ones currently on the engine are probably 30 years old and seem brittle. Thanks!

Re: CAT 3116 Air Filter
I'd guess they were purchased separately because you usually just clean the foam. If yours are getting brittle it's probably a good idea to change them though.
