The aFe 30-80209 replaces the original airbox filter in the specified applications with five layers of factory-pre-oiled cotton gauze. The exact manufacturer page identifies GM diesel trucks 2011–2016 with the 6.6L LML Duramax, not only the 2011–2012 scope in the old title. Exact retailer tables name Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD/3500 HD and GMC Sierra 2500 HD/3500 HD for these years. Named trim end years remain distinct; the missing Silverado 3500 HD LT 2011–2016 and Sierra 2500 HD WT 2011–2014 rows are restored. Verify the actual diesel engine and original housing: a WT, LT or other trim badge does not approve the gasoline engine, an earlier Duramax generation or a later L5P housing.
| Detail | Value |

30-80209: verify the exact engine, original element and housing. Model or trim names alone do not establish all-engine interchangeability.
| Detail | Value |
|---|---|
| Manufacturer Part Number | 30-80209 |
| Media | Pro 5R; five layers of pre-oiled cotton gauze |
| Configuration | One OE-replacement air-filter element; original housing retained |
| Pleat description | Inverted top and deep rounded open pleats; no unverified overall dimensions |
| Frame / seal | Polyurethane perimeter frame; progressive bump seal |
| Service | Washable and reusable oiled cotton media. Use aFe POWER CLEANER and the specified blue air-filter oil; this is not oil-free Pro DRY S media. |
| Flow statement | The current exact product page claims 44% greater flow versus the factory intake, while the manufacturer 2020 diesel guide lists 22% flow gain for this exact filter. The basis of that difference is not established here; neither figure is an engine horsepower guarantee, and the higher value is not treated as a universally verified result. |
| Emissions | Exact manufacturer page states this filter does not require a CARB EO number; other modifications are not certified by that statement |

One Pro 5R 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 manufacturer page identifies GM diesel trucks 2011–2016 with the 6.6L LML Duramax, not only the 2011–2012 scope in the old title. Exact retailer tables name Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD/3500 HD and GMC Sierra 2500 HD/3500 HD for these years. Named trim end years remain distinct; the missing Silverado 3500 HD LT 2011–2016 and Sierra 2500 HD WT 2011–2014 rows are restored. Verify the actual diesel engine and original housing: a WT, LT or other trim badge does not approve the gasoline engine, an earlier Duramax generation or a later L5P housing.
Is the Pro 5R media oiled?Washable and reusable oiled cotton media. Use aFe POWER CLEANER and the specified blue air-filter oil; this is not oil-free Pro DRY S media.
Does the flow percentage guarantee more engine power?The current exact product page claims 44% greater flow versus the factory intake, while the manufacturer 2020 diesel guide lists 22% flow gain for this exact filter. The basis of that difference is not established here; neither figure is an engine horsepower guarantee, and the higher value is not treated as a universally verified result.
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.
Why are two manufacturer flow percentages shown?The current exact filter page publishes 44%, while the manufacturer 2020 guide table publishes 22% for the same part. The test basis or revision behind the difference is not supplied here. Treat them as qualified published comparisons, not a guaranteed engine power increase.
When should I clean and re-oil it?Inspect according to actual dust exposure and restriction. Washable and reusable oiled cotton media. Use aFe POWER CLEANER and the specified blue air-filter oil; this is not oil-free Pro DRY S media. Use low-pressure rinse from the clean side toward the dirty side, let the element dry naturally and allow the specified oil to wick before reinstalling. Do not use heat, compressed air or excess 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 product page. The inverted design uses space within the original airbox; follow the original housing service procedure and correct Pro 5R cleaning/oiling routine. The manufacturer diesel application guide is application and performance-table evidence, not an installation manual. Read the manufacturer media maintenance guidance.
