aFe 10-10409D Magnum FLOW Pro DRY S 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 10-10409D in its place. No trimming, modification, or additional hardware is required - the lid reinstalls using all factory attachment points.
• The 10-10409D uses an Inverted Replacement Filter (IRF) design. The filter's top is inverted to use the available depth of the factory RHO airbox cavity, providing more filter media surface area within the same installed envelope as the factory flat-panel paper filter. This additional surface area improves airflow capacity and extends the interval between cleaning cycles.
• This filter uses Pro DRY S media - no oil is required at any point in the filter's service life. After washing with aFe POWER CLEANER, the filter is allowed to dry and reinstalled with no oiling step. This is important on the Hurricane I6's twin-turbocharged engine management system, where an over-oiled filter can introduce oil mist into the MAF sensor, affecting sensor readings and potentially triggering fault codes.
• Two alternative media options are available for the same filter body and fitment: the oiled Pro 5R version (PN 30-10409D) - five layers of cotton gauze, highest airflow - for drivers who prefer maximum performance with periodic oiling maintenance; and the oiled Pro GUARD 7 version (PN 10-10409G) - seven layers of composite media - for heavy dust environments such as off-road trails where filtration protection takes priority over outright airflow.
• 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 DRY S media is a three-layer progressive density synthetic construction. The layered density arrangement - coarser on the outside, finer on the inside - captures larger particles at the outer layers and finer particles progressively deeper in the media, improving overall filtration efficiency while maintaining high airflow even as the filter accumulates debris over the service interval. The filter continues flowing well even when partially loaded - a key advantage over a factory paper filter, which becomes increasingly restrictive as it loads.
• The IRF design puts additional filter media surface area to work by using the factory airbox's available depth above the filter seat. On the RAM 1500 RHO's factory airbox, this means more total pleat area is engaged for filtration and airflow than a conventional flat-panel replacement filter of equivalent external dimensions can provide, extending the time between cleaning cycles compared to a standard-depth aftermarket panel filter.
• The rounded, deep, open pleat design maximizes the effective filter surface area within the filter's footprint. Unlike flat-faced pleats that can contact each other and block flow paths as the filter loads, the rounded pleat profile maintains consistent air channels between pleats throughout the filter's service life, preserving airflow and filtration performance deeper into the cleaning interval.
• The 100% polyurethane frame - both base and top - maintains its molded dimensions through repeated engine bay heat cycles. Unlike competing filter frames using rubber or composite materials that can compress permanently under airbox lid clamping pressure or degrade from sustained heat exposure, polyurethane retains its shape and seal geometry over the full service life of the filter. This is particularly relevant in the RHO's turbocharged engine bay, where elevated underhood temperatures are a normal operating condition.
• The progressive bump seal on the filter's perimeter seating surface conforms to the factory airbox's sealing face without gaskets or sealants, providing a reliable leak-free seal that eliminates unfiltered air bypass. The soft urethane material returns to its original molded form after each installation - the seal geometry is maintained regardless of how many cleaning and reinstallation cycles the filter undergoes.
• Washable and reusable; designed by aFe to last the service life of the vehicle. Cleaning with aFe POWER CLEANER restores airflow and filtration capacity. Recommended cleaning interval is every 20,000-30,000 miles under normal street driving, or sooner after sustained dusty or dirty driving conditions - no oil is applied at any point in the maintenance process. Handmade in the USA at aFe's facility in Corona, California.

Product Description

The aFe POWER 10-10409D is a Magnum FLOW Pro DRY S 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 modification to the airbox is required. The filter uses an Inverted Replacement Filter (IRF) design, inverting the filter top to use the full available depth of the RHO's factory airbox cavity and provide more filter surface area than a conventional flat-panel replacement.

The Pro DRY S media is a three-layer oil-free synthetic construction. No oil is applied at any point - not at initial installation, not after cleaning. The absence of oil in the filter media eliminates the possibility of oil mist contamination at the MAF sensor, which is a documented concern with over-oiled replacement filters on sensitive modern engine management systems including the Hurricane's twin-turbo architecture. Maintenance requires only aFe POWER CLEANER; the filter is washed, dried, and reinstalled without an oiling step. Cleaning is recommended every 20,000-30,000 miles under normal street conditions.

For drivers who prefer an oiled cotton gauze filter for maximum outright airflow, the Pro 5R version is available as PN 30-10409D. For sustained heavy-dust environments, the Pro GUARD 7 version (PN 10-10409G) provides seven-layer composite media with higher filtration depth. Does not require a CARB EO# - legal for use in all 50 states. Handmade in Corona, California, USA. Covered by aFe's limited lifetime warranty.
