RAM 1500 Engine Air Filter Replacement | Don't Make This MISTAKE

[@lordzooka]

Every 12k miles to be safe if you live an a dusty area. K&N filters work well too, just make sure to clean them at least once a year. If you have a turbo engine, the damage can be even worse and you will have issues with sensors clogging up or throwing engine faults at random if the filter gets clogged up.

exactly, it's a very simple maintenance item but just have to stay on top of it to make sure your engine is protected!

I change all my vehicle engine air filters, and the cabin air filters each spring and at the beginning of fall. Just old school. Been doing it for over 60 years. Plus I live in the desert southwest, so it kind of makes it mandatory to do this twice a year. I have a 2018 Ram 2500 6.4, but the air boxes are the same.

[@TheGettyAdventures]

great way to do it! nothing wrong with old school!

[@RedNineTeen]

First thing I did when I bought my 19 classic was a K&N filter

[@9-5Golf]

I was looking into getting the K&N filter, how are they?

[@RedNineTeen]

@@9-5Golf as far as I can tell the fuel mileage stayed the same for me I avg around 15mpg and the throttle feels just a tad more responsive.. I like K&N because it’s reusable you can clean it and re oil it and it’s good to go

[@TheGettyAdventures]

probably save you some money too over the lifetime of the truck

[@jacobsebastien3910]

K&N let's Alot of dirt through. I use WIX Air Filters because I actually want clean Air going into my Hemi.

[@andrewway3404]

I just purchased a k&n air filter for my challenger rt and ram 1500 3.6, the challenger only sees nice dry days in the summer and the ram I commute with everyday on pavement so I will check them every oil change. I think the key is to check them often and clean and oil when needed.

[@charitywhittenberger2360]

Mine sorta looks like that but where you have the plastic piece that says air flow, mine is just a hard piece of plastic and doesn't have the clips to open it.

Good info and reminder for me to change my filter cheers

[@TheGettyAdventures]

thank you sir!

[@craighunter988]

Great video!! Your so right!

[@TheGettyAdventures]

thank you sir!

[@AlbertaPatriot1985]

Air filter should be on inspected @ EVERY oil change.

[@bquade70]

Excellent info.... Thx👍👍

[@TheGettyAdventures]

thank sir!

[@davelevy4394]

There is no question that you should change your filter, but if it is partially clogged, the engine's computer adjusts for it. This is why a cold air intake without flashing the command module is a waste of time and money.

[@ronaldpretzel7170]

K&N for my Hemi

[@ram43x80]

I almost bought a echo diesel but went with a tacoma..thoughts have been entering my brain to trade my tacoma for a Ram..? Thoughts?

[@steveo78227]

Eew a taco 🤦 them eco diesel do drive really nice and offer 550+miles on full tanks and average 24mpg for crew cab. On the other hand I love my lifted 4x4 5.7 13mpg or should I say smiles per gallon 💦

[@Ram-re5em]

My engine is never this dirty never never never

[@JONESZ441]

How often should you change the air filter?

[@johanbrand8601]

Consult your owners manual. Usually its around every twelve thousand miles. Half that amount of miles if always driving in dusty environments, gravel and dirt roads, etc.

[@TheGettyAdventures]

Honestly, I give her a peak every oil change (every 2-3 months) and if it looks dirty I'll change it. but this is my fourth air filter for my 2017 ram so about once a year or every 20k (kilometers)

[@TheGettyAdventures]

@@johanbrand8601 exactly the owners manual is the best thing to follow especially for a truck under warranty. because if something goes wrong you want to show them you are maintaining the truck properly.

[@JONESZ441]

Do you have to purchase your air filter from a dealership and is an after market okay?

[@johanbrand8601]

I think it depends on your vehicle. I can find all my filters etc. at the local Autozone.

[@TheGettyAdventures]

You can buy them from the dealer, but they are usually overpriced. you can usually get good aftermarket air filter from your local parts stores. they stock them just like oil filters

[@jacobsebastien3910]

I Only use WIX Air Filters.

[@TheGettyAdventures]

great filters!

[@deelarry2137]

Upgrade to the 4 inch plete

[@TheGettyAdventures]

probably not a bad idea!

[@deelarry2137]

@@TheGettyAdventures I maintain a fleet of dodges here at work. I did a lot of research, and the 4-in pleat is a completely different filter media. But I still think it's the way to go.

[@TheGettyAdventures]

@@deelarry2137 Really? what brand do you guys run?

[@deelarry2137]

@@TheGettyAdventures Napa gold. It's an lightly oiled filter. Although for some reason, my 08 uses a different size. Not even sure they make a 4 inch pleat. Have to check. Napa gold is just a wix filter

[@TheGettyAdventures]

@@deelarry2137 Wix filters are great filters. I'll have to try and pick one up next time i need a filter!
