Fitment Notes

Direct drop-in replacement for the factory engine air filter - installs in the existing OEM airbox with no modifications required.
Covers an exceptionally broad range of GMT800 and GMT900 platform Chevrolet, GMC, and Cadillac trucks and SUVs from 1999 through 2020. The same physical airbox filter dimension was used across these platforms for over two decades, making this one of AEM's highest-application-count drop-in filters. Always verify your specific year, model, and engine against AEM's fitment tool before ordering.
Confirmed for both gasoline (V6 and V8 LS/Vortec family) and 6.6L Duramax turbo diesel applications sharing the same airbox filter dimensions. Diesel-specific dealers (XDP, PPEI) list this filter for Duramax LB7 through L5P engines.
This filter will not void your GM factory vehicle warranty.
Sold individually - one filter per package.

Features

AEM DryFlow Oil-Free Synthetic Media - Up to 99% Filtration Efficiency: The 28-20129 uses AEM's DryFlow non-woven synthetic filter media to deliver high airflow and up to 99% contaminant capture efficiency without requiring filter oil. Unlike oiled cotton-gauze performance filters, DryFlow eliminates the risk of MAF sensor contamination from oil overspray on GM's mass airflow sensors, and the synthetic media does not degrade from repeated cleaning cycles.
Increased Horsepower and Throttle Response: AEM's lower-restriction synthetic media flows more air into the LS, Vortec, and Duramax engines compared to the factory paper element - improving throttle response and supporting power gains across the RPM range, particularly on modified or tuned builds.
Washable and Reusable - Lifetime Filter: Clean with AEM filter cleaner (PN 1-1000), rinse with water, air dry completely, and reinstall - no oiling required. AEM rates the filter for up to 100,000 miles between cleanings under normal driving conditions. Designed to last the lifetime of the vehicle.
Outstanding Performance in Dusty Conditions: The DryFlow synthetic media maintains both airflow and filtration efficiency in dusty environments - well suited to the off-road, farm, and work truck use common across the Silverado, Sierra, and Suburban platforms covered by this filter.
Shed-and-Flow Design: Non-woven media sheds trapped dirt particles under engine vibration, helping maintain consistent airflow as the filter loads up between cleanings.
Direct Drop-In Fit: Engineered as a direct dimensional replacement for the OEM paper element in the factory GM airbox - no modifications, adapters, or additional hardware required.
Will Not Void GM Factory Warranty: The 28-20129 will not void the manufacturer's vehicle warranty when used as directed.
Made in the USA: Manufactured by AEM Induction Systems to precision quality standards.

The filter drops directly into the factory GM airbox as a dimensional replacement for the OEM paper element and installs in minutes with no modifications required. Washable with AEM filter cleaner and reusable for the lifetime of the vehicle - rated for up to 100,000 miles between cleanings under normal driving conditions. Will not void GM factory vehicle warranty. Made in the USA. Lifetime Limited Warranty.
