Doc's Diesel Engine Air Filter — DPA3462 for Ram 1500 3.0L EcoDiesel (2014+) High-Capacity, Heavy-Duty

This high-capacity air filter is built for diesel trucks that see real work and varied driving conditions. With deep pleats, a sturdy silicone gasket, and tested dust-holding performance, the DPA3462 is made to block harmful particles without constraining airflow. It directly replaces OEM part 68441763AA and fits Ram 1500 EcoDiesel models from 2014 onward, providing a cost-effective option to keep intake systems cleaner and engines running smoothly.

How does this filter protect my EcoDiesel engine?

The DPA3462 captures airborne contaminants before they reach the turbo and combustion chamber, reducing abrasive wear and helping maintain fuel efficiency. Its pleated media increases surface area for particle capture, while the silicone gasket keeps a secure seal under vibration.

• Deep pleated filter paper traps more particles per square inch.
• Heavy-duty silicone gasket prevents bypass and air leaks.
• Engineered to fit OEM housings for proper sealing and alignment.

How was the filter tested and how much dirt can it hold?

Independent testing shows the DPA3462 delivers strong dust-holding capacity while preserving airflow, a balance important for turbocharged diesel engines. Lab results quantify particulate retention so you can compare performance to other replacement options.

• Third-party tested: 99.25% efficiency in filter media performance.
• Measured dust-holding capacity of 344.2 grams in standardized testing.
• Durable construction resists collapse under intake vacuum.

How often should I replace this engine air filter?

Replacement frequency depends on driving conditions and manufacturer guidance. For routine highway use the interval is longer, while dusty or off-road conditions require more frequent changes.
