Hey All,

Just a friendly reminder to check your air filters.

Those pics are at 25000 Km ( 15000 miles )

Also, don't trust Amazon's compatibility tool, Lol! :Angry:

I went my local parts store and got a Wix.

Yes mine got changed last month at 20k and was over due For sure. I did not like the reusable ones as they had small pleats. Would have to clean it every 5k to keep up. And the cover was screwed down so my lazy butt does not want to look at it again for another 20k. Haha.

25K. I have a 120 mile round trip commute so not efficient and basically for hunting/fishing/camping and runs to landfill. Installed a green filter, dry element, washable, about 2 years ago. Wash it once a year, good to go. Was running an AFE dry element shortly after buying it.

@Breaker Alex Think there some limbs caught in that filter from your northern excursion last year!

That ride sure crossed my mind :Big Laugh:
but it was mostly bees and dust.

I think the way the new intake is made might have something to do with all that stuff coming in.

More stuff = more air??

Never had a dirtier filter, now I'll check it every oil change.

I checked mine yesterday and it sill looks pretty good but I went ahead and ordered a MOPAR one for when I need it.

Anyone change out their cabin air filter....it's interesting that the interval for the cabin air filter is every 20K miles but the engine air filter is every 30K miles (earlier if required).

Just curious about the old filer in the pic. Also wondering if it will fit the 2018 6.4 air box! I have a 2018 PW, when I went looking for a new filter, the WIX, Microgard and Purolator that crossed over and listed by application were about 1/2" "shorter" than the OEM 68190705AA which was factory installed. I bought the Fram CA 11960 from Amazon which measured the same as my OEM ! If you could give me the number from your "old" one or replacement, I will see if it will fit my truck. When it comes to air filters more is always better!!
