The aFe 31-10241 replaces the original airbox filter in the specified applications with oil-free synthetic media. The exact current manufacturer identifies Nissan Patrol/Armada Y62 2010–2023 and Infiniti QX56/QX80 2011–2024 with the VK56VD 5.6L V8. The combined global Patrol/Armada year range is not approval for every US Armada in 2010; the existing US Armada rows begin in 2017 and must retain the correct generation. Exact per-part retailer tables restore the missing QX80 Luxe 2019–2024, Premium Select and Sensory 2021–2024, plus Armada Midnight Edition and S 2021–2023. They also support extending the existing Armada Platinum, SL and SV rows through 2023. The original QX80 Base 2014–2019 row is retained qualified because some exact retailer tables end that label in 2018 while another retains 2019. Limited retains its existing split 2016–2017 and 2019–2020 ranges; a generic model headline does not silently fill the gap. No new Patrol app row is created because the model name spans other generations and engines, and no newer turbocharged V6 or older non-Y62 Armada interchange is inferred.

Which application should I verify?The exact current manufacturer identifies Nissan Patrol/Armada Y62 2010–2023 and Infiniti QX56/QX80 2011–2024 with the VK56VD 5.6L V8. The combined global Patrol/Armada year range is not approval for every US Armada in 2010; the existing US Armada rows begin in 2017 and must retain the correct generation.

Is the Pro DRY S media oiled?Washable oil-free synthetic media. Use the specified aFe POWER CLEANER, rinse appropriately and dry fully; do not apply air-filter oil. The current exact manufacturer specifies three layers of oil-free synthetic media.
Does the flow percentage guarantee more engine power?The exact current manufacturer publishes no numerical flow-gain, efficiency or pleat-count specification for this element. Some retailers list 25 mm and 28 count, but those are not transferred as a manufacturer-certified boxed-revision measurement.
How does this filter seal?Its progressive bump seal and full polyurethane perimeter frame conform to the original housing. The manufacturer says separate filter gaskets or sealants are not required; the existing housing must still close and secure correctly.
Are a hose coupler and cleaning kit supplied?The exact listing identifies an OE-replacement filter. A generic Coupler Included field does not establish a separate hose package; no airbox, tube, sensor, cleaner or oil bottle is documented as supplied.
Does the 2010 Patrol/Armada heading approve every early US Armada?No. The combined global heading is limited by the Y62 chassis and VK56VD engine. The retained and restored US Armada named rows start in 2017; a broad badge match cannot certify an older generation or later turbo-V6 housing.
When should I clean it?Inspect according to actual dust exposure and restriction. Washable oil-free synthetic media. Use the specified aFe POWER CLEANER, rinse appropriately and dry fully; do not apply air-filter oil. The current exact manufacturer specifies three layers of oil-free synthetic media. Use low-pressure rinse from the clean side toward the dirty side, let the element dry naturally before reinstalling. Do not use heat, compressed air or any filter oil. Do not treat an older general-care mileage example as a guaranteed interval for every vehicle or environment.
No vehicle-specific installation PDF or numeric airbox torque is linked on this exact manufacturer page. Follow the original housing service procedure and the correct oil-free Pro DRY S maintenance directions. Read the manufacturer media maintenance guidance.
