No, it wasn't - originals were yellow-hued from the oil in the paper element (the "W" in A212CW stands for oil-wetted). Later service replacements (and poor repros) weren't oil-wetted, and the paper was white.

John-

I just sold a NOS A212CX air cleaner setup which appeared to have the yellow oil wetted paper in the element. What does the X stand for? What type of oil was used on these filters?

Those were mostly aimed at GMC industrial vehicles.
I think the X stood for off road use to them.
