The aFe 31-10268 replaces the original airbox filter in the specified applications with oil-free synthetic media. The exact current manufacturer names Camaro SS 2016–2023 6.2L, but appends a supercharged abbreviation to that SS headline. Chevrolet identifies the SS/LT1 engine separately from the supercharged LT4 in ZL1, so the label is not copied as a factory-supercharged SS claim. Exact per-part AmericanMuscle fitment independently lists SS 2016–2024, ZL1 2017–2024 and the distinct LT1 trim 2020–2024. Those named retailer bounds support correcting the old 2020 LT row to LT1 and restoring later listed years, while remaining attributed retailer evidence beyond the current manufacturer SS-only endpoint. LT1 trim must not be confused with a four-cylinder or V6 LT merely because the engine is also called LT1. Current manufacturer copy mentions an inverted top even though its exact product photograph depicts a panel element; that publication inconsistency is qualified rather than promising inverted-filter construction or another kit. No complete intake assembly is supplied.

One Pro DRY S OE-replacement air-filter element for the verified housing and engine application described here; this is not a complete intake system.
Which application should I verify?The exact current manufacturer names Camaro SS 2016–2023 6.2L, but appends a supercharged abbreviation to that SS headline. Chevrolet identifies the SS/LT1 engine separately from the supercharged LT4 in ZL1, so the label is not copied as a factory-supercharged SS claim. Exact per-part AmericanMuscle fitment independently lists SS 2016–2024, ZL1 2017–2024 and the distinct LT1 trim 2020–2024. Those named retailer bounds support correcting the old 2020 LT row to LT1 and restoring later listed years, while remaining attributed retailer evidence beyond the current manufacturer SS-only endpoint. LT1 trim must not be confused with a four-cylinder or V6 LT merely because the engine is also called LT1. Current manufacturer copy mentions an inverted top even though its exact product photograph depicts a panel element; that publication inconsistency is qualified rather than promising inverted-filter construction or another kit. No complete intake assembly is supplied.
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?No numerical flow gain or efficiency percentage is published in the exact current manufacturer prose. The inverted-top sentence does not establish measured performance, and retailer intake reviews are not test evidence for this panel.
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.
Is the 2020 LT entry the same as the LT1 trim?No. Exact filter fitment names the LT1 6.2L trim, separately from LT models with other engines. The old generic LT row is corrected to the exact named LT1 scope; the shared LT letters are not an all-engine compatibility claim.
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.
