Pro DRY S replacement with the correct engine and housing
The aFe 31-80202 replaces the original airbox filter in the specified applications with oil-free synthetic media. The exact current manufacturer identifies Ford diesel trucks 2011–2016 V8-6.7L and describes an inverted replacement design using the original filter-box depth. Its current overview states TWO synthetic layers. The official 2020 diesel guide, printed page 65, explicitly places this exact part under F-250/F-350 Power Stroke 2011–2016 and lists THREE synthetic layers, 99.2% efficiency and flow gain TBD. This is a publication conflict, not proof of an inspected boxed revision or permission to silently replace the exact current two-layer wording. The guide 37% gain is the adjacent oiled filter, not this dry element. Existing broad F-250/F-350 search rows retain the 6.7L diesel/original-housing condition, and their separately named Super Duty native collections are also relevant. Exact retailers additionally name F-450/F-550 applications with differing year bounds; those broader chassis scopes remain recorded but unassigned pending exact application reconciliation. No gas engine or 2017+ generation is inferred.
Key Features
- Oil-free synthetic filtration media.
- 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 overview states two synthetic layers while the older official guide states three; actual boxed revision is not inspected.
- Rounded open pleats provide usable filter area and dust-holding capacity.
- Full polyurethane perimeter frame and progressive bump seal.
- The older official guide lists 99.2% filtration efficiency and flow gain TBD for this dry part. Current exact overview gives no numeric gain. The adjacent 37% oiled-filter gain is not this dry element result; layer/revision conflict remains explicit.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 31-80202?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 identifies Ford diesel trucks 2011–2016 V8-6.7L and describes an inverted replacement design using the original filter-box depth. Its current overview states TWO synthetic layers. The official 2020 diesel guide, printed page 65, explicitly places this exact part under F-250/F-350 Power Stroke 2011–2016 and lists THREE synthetic layers, 99.2% efficiency and flow gain TBD. This is a publication conflict, not proof of an inspected boxed revision or permission to silently replace the exact current two-layer wording. The guide 37% gain is the adjacent oiled filter, not this dry element. Existing broad F-250/F-350 search rows retain the 6.7L diesel/original-housing condition, and their separately named Super Duty native collections are also relevant. Exact retailers additionally name F-450/F-550 applications with differing year bounds; those broader chassis scopes remain recorded but unassigned pending exact application reconciliation. No gas engine or 2017+ generation is inferred.
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 overview states two synthetic layers while the older official guide states three; actual boxed revision is not inspected.
Does the flow percentage guarantee more engine power?The older official guide lists 99.2% filtration efficiency and flow gain TBD for this dry part. Current exact overview gives no numeric gain. The adjacent 37% oiled-filter gain is not this dry element result; layer/revision conflict remains explicit.
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 and three layers both discussed?The current exact product overview says two synthetic layers, while the official 2020 exact-part guide row says three. That source conflict is preserved without guessing a production change or certifying the actual stock revision. Both sources identify oil-free Pro DRY S service.
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 overview states two synthetic layers while the older official guide states three; actual boxed revision is not inspected. 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.
Installation Instructions
- Read the exact manufacturer product information for 31-80202 and the original vehicle airbox service procedure.
- With the engine off and cool, compare the new filter and original element, including the sealing interface. Resolve an engine or housing mismatch before installation.
- Open the original housing according to its service procedure, remove the old element and keep debris out of the clean intake path. Clean the housing seat.
- Seat the polyurethane frame evenly without folding the bump seal or adding sealant. Close and secure the original housing and inspect all its attachments.
- 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 overview states two synthetic layers while the older official guide states three; actual boxed revision is not inspected.
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.
