With all of those haboobs that happen in Arizona & west New Mexico
I am surprised that you don't have to replace an air filter a month

 

Other than the original Mopar filter I have run only Purolator air filters. They seem well built and I suspect they may actually make them for Mopar. Wix has a good reputation, so your glowing review doesn't come as a surprise :smileup:

 

Wix, Fram, or Purolator been using them for decades.
Whichever is on sale or available, when I need it.

Imagine my own preference would be Wix, then Fram, then Purolator but for no particular reason.

 

Thanks Andy for the review, I like the Wix as well

 

wix filters are made for orielys and napa

 

tks for the review.

 

Thanks for taking the time to share :smileup:

Keep us posted on this one when it needs replacement

 

This filter is $14.97 at Rock Auto. I bought three for $53.80, including shipping. I should be good for a long, long time.

 

Thanks for the tip! I will order from them next time.

 

I googled this filter and this thread showed up in the results

 

Summit Racing has it for $19.97

 

Wix Filter

Did the same thing shopping R##k Auto and bought a WIX for a quick change and found the same thing performed very well for the price.

 

Speaking of air filters... Does anyone have experience with running K&N? I used to run them in my Fords when we lived on the dirt road, but this is my first new vehicle since moving & not sure if I'll need the extra dust protection.

 

K&Ns filter out less dust than a paper filter

 

Here's an old article with ISO 5011 test results regarding both the OP's Wix and also pertinent to jcd302's question about K&N. I used K&N once "back in the day" and found no benefit.

Are you still using wix filters? A year after your original post, what is your thoughts on the filter? What mpg are you getting with your truck?

 

Sorry about the delay. I now have a Jeep instead of the truck, and I wasn't notified about this thread until today. I don't visit the Ram forum much anymore.
I remained happy with the Wix filter. I saw no difference in my mileage. It was a perfect fit, and had much more filter surface available so it stands to reason that it would take longer to create a restriction.

 

I just installed a Napa Gold (made by Wix) engine air filter in my 2017. I am happy to report that the filter fit and installed just like the OEM Mopar unit.

Compared to the Mopar filter, the Napa gold had larger, thicker pleats, felt heavier and seemed like the same or slightly higher overall quality. The only downside to the Napa Gold filter that I could find is that it is made in China....

 

good to hear, bout to do that myself!

 

If you’re waiting for the EVIC to prompt you, I’ll just leave this here.

 

Not sure what EVIC is but that is an OEM Mopar filter. Looks like it did a great job stopping all that contamination.

 

I have a K&N, maybe I'll try a wix

 

I wonder how well the Mopar performance intake does over the stock, I think AEM makes the dry filter for Mopar. I wouldn't use a K&N I have in the past on a lot of vehicles but that oil get everywhere an causes grim build up. I have since switched to the dry filters.

I'd be surprised if it were any different in performance.


The Mopar CAI is a dry media filter

 

EVIC is the screen in the gauge cluster. It doesn't prompt for air filter changes

Thanks for the link to the study. I wonder if things have changed, but from the study data it looks like I will be buying the AC Delco filters.
