aFe 10-10409R Magnum FLOW Pro 5R Air Filter for 2025-2026 RAM 1500 RHO 3.0L

Vehicle Fitment

• 2025-2026 RAM 1500 RHO L6-3.0L (tt) Hurricane (twin-turbocharged inline-6)

Fitment Notes

• This is a direct-fit OE drop-in replacement air filter for the 2025-2026 RAM 1500 RHO. Installation involves removing the factory airbox lid, removing the stock paper filter element, and installing the aFe 10-10409R in its place. No trimming, modification, or additional hardware is required - the lid reinstalls using all factory attachment points. The filter arrives factory pre-oiled and is ready to install as delivered; no oil application is required before first installation.
• The 10-10409R uses an Inverted Replacement Filter (IRF) design, with the filter top inverted to use the full available depth of the factory RHO airbox cavity. This provides more filter media surface area within the same installed envelope as the factory paper filter, contributing to the 10-10409R's up to 32% increase in airflow over the factory paper element.
• The 10-10409R is the highest-airflow option of the three Magnum FLOW media variants available for this fitment. The five-layer oiled cotton gauze construction of the Pro 5R allows the highest volume of air to pass through the filter media with the lowest restriction, making it the correct choice for maximum performance results - street driving, highway driving, towing, and track use where airflow demand is the primary concern. For oil-free maintenance convenience, the Pro DRY S (PN 10-10409D) is available. For maximum filtration in heavy dust environments, the Pro GUARD 7 (PN 10-10409G) is available.
• The Pro 5R is an oiled filter. After washing with aFe POWER CLEANER, it must be recharged with aFe blue air filter oil before reinstallation. Use only aFe blue oil (not gold oil, which is for Pro GUARD 7) and apply evenly without over-oiling. Excess oil on the filter media can migrate to the MAF sensor in the Hurricane's engine management system and affect sensor readings, potentially triggering diagnostic fault codes.
• This product does not require a CARB Executive Order number. As a direct OE-category replacement filter, it is legal for use in California and all 50 states on vehicles equipped with the listed engine.

Features

• The Pro 5R media consists of five layers of progressively finer cotton gauze, pre-treated with aFe's high-grade blue oil. The progressive density arrangement - coarser weave on the outside, finer weave inward - captures larger particles at the outer layers while the inner layers provide fine particle filtration. The oiled cotton gauze construction has been tested at 98.6% filtration efficiency by aFe, and the progressive weave allows the filter to continue flowing at high levels even as it accumulates debris over the service interval. Compared to a single-layer or dual-layer media, the five-layer construction provides greater dust-holding capacity, extending the interval between cleaning cycles.
• The up to 32% increase in airflow over the factory paper filter is the direct result of the Pro 5R media's lower restriction at equivalent airflow rates. On the Hurricane's twin-turbocharged I6, where the turbos demand high air volume particularly under load, this reduction in intake restriction can support improved throttle response and peak power output. The factory paper filter is designed around cost and service-interval parameters, not maximum airflow - the Pro 5R is engineered specifically to remove that restriction without compromising engine protection.
• The IRF design makes use of the full factory airbox depth for additional filter media surface area. More surface area means more total flow capacity and more dust-holding capacity per cleaning cycle - the filter can accumulate more contaminant before its flow rate begins to degrade, extending the effective service interval between cleaning cycles compared to a conventional flat-panel replacement filter.
• The rounded deep open pleat design maximizes usable filter surface area within the filter's footprint and maintains consistent air channels between pleats as the filter loads with debris. This pleat geometry is particularly effective on an oiled cotton gauze filter, where the oil gradually moves the debris load from pleat surface to pleat depth - maintaining open flow paths at the pleat faces for a longer portion of the service interval.
• The filter frame uses a hard shell top with a carbon fiber reinforced polyurethane base. The hard shell top provides rigidity to retain the shape of the five-layer media pack under airbox lid clamping forces and across cleaning cycles. The carbon fiber reinforced base maintains dimensional stability under the sustained elevated underhood temperatures of the turbocharged RHO engine bay.
• The progressive bump seal on the filter's perimeter seating surface conforms to the factory RHO airbox's sealing face without gaskets or sealants, providing a reliable leak-free interface that prevents unfiltered air bypass. The soft urethane material returns to its original molded form after each installation, maintaining consistent seal geometry regardless of how many cleaning and reinstallation cycles the filter undergoes.
• Washable and reusable; designed to last the service life of the vehicle. Recommended cleaning interval is every 20,000-30,000 miles under normal street driving, or sooner after sustained dusty or dirty driving conditions. Handmade in the USA at aFe's facility in Corona, California.

Product Description

The aFe POWER 10-10409R is a Magnum FLOW Pro 5R OE replacement air filter for the 2025-2026 RAM 1500 RHO equipped with the 3.0L Hurricane twin-turbocharged inline-6 engine. It is a direct drop-in replacement for the factory air filter - no airbox modification required - using the same factory lid and mounting hardware. The filter uses an Inverted Replacement Filter (IRF) design to maximize media surface area within the factory airbox depth, contributing to a measured airflow improvement of up to 32% over the factory paper element.

The Pro 5R media is five layers of progressively finer pre-oiled cotton gauze, tested at 98.6% filtration efficiency. The filter arrives factory pre-oiled and is ready to install as delivered. After each cleaning cycle, the filter is recharged with aFe blue air filter oil - the correct oil for Pro 5R (not the gold oil used for Pro GUARD 7). Apply oil evenly without over-oiling to avoid potential MAF sensor contamination in the Hurricane's engine management system. The Pro 5R is the highest-airflow option of the three Magnum FLOW media variants for this fitment, making it the first choice for street and track applications where maximum performance is the goal.

For oil-free maintenance convenience, the Pro DRY S (PN 10-10409D) is available for the same fitment. For maximum filtration depth in heavy-dust off-road environments, the Pro GUARD 7 (PN 10-10409G) is also available. Does not require a CARB EO# - legal in all 50 states. Handmade in Corona, California, USA. Covered by aFe's limited lifetime warranty.
