Pacific Performance Engineering PPE Premium Transmission Fluid Filter for Dodge Ram 2500/3500 6.7L 68RFE — Heavy‑Duty Pan Fit, 10‑

PPE Premium Transmission Fluid Filter 228052150 is a high-efficiency replacement filter engineered for 6.7L 68RFE Dodge/Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks when used with the PPE heavy-duty transmission pan.

This upgraded transmission filter is built to improve fluid cleanliness and durability over the OEM unit. Designed specifically to fit the PPE heavy duty transmission pan (part family 2280521XX), the 228052150 replaces the factory filter in 2007.5–2018 (and compatible with 2021) Dodge/Ram trucks equipped with the 6.7L 68RFE transmission. PPE focused on larger filtration media, stronger hardware, and debris capture to reduce wear and maintain smoother transmission operation.

How does this filter improve transmission protection?

The PPE filter increases the filtration surface area and uses finer media to trap more contaminants before they circulate through the valve body. It also includes a strong magnet and a reinforced anti-drainback design to limit metal particle recirculation and ensure consistent oil flow after shutdown.

• 57% more filtration area than the stock filter for greater contaminant capacity
• 10-micron-rated media captures small particles that can cause wear
• Integrated magnet collects metallic debris to protect internal components
• Anti-drainback valve with coil spring and rubber seal preserves fluid in the circuit

Will this fit my Dodge/Ram and work with different transmission oils?

The 228052150 is made for 6.7L trucks using the 68RFE transmission and is intended for installation with the PPE heavy duty transmission pan series 2280521XX. The filter is compatible with both conventional and synthetic automatic transmission fluids commonly used in these vehicles.

• Designed for 2007.5–2018 Dodge Ram 2500/3500 6.7L 68RFE; also compatible with later model configurations that use the PPE pan
• Works with conventional and synthetic ATF formulas
• Requires PPE heavy-duty pan for correct fitment and sealing
• Available in raw, brushed, and black finishes to match pan styling

What hardware and construction upgrades does PPE include?

PPE replaces the factory plastic threaded adapter with a steel adapter for improved strength and reliability. The anti-drainback assembly is reinforced with a coil spring and rubber seal, and a secured magnet at the filter base provides continual metal particle capture.

• Steel threaded adapter replaces the weaker plastic OEM piece
• Coil-sprung anti-drainback valve with rubber seal ensures one-way fluid retention
• Magnet fixed at the bottom of the filter collects ferrous debris
• Robust construction intended for heavy-duty and towing applications

How does installation and maintenance compare to the stock filter?

Installation follows the same general steps as the original filter when used with the matching PPE pan, but the stronger adapter and larger filter cup give a more secure fit and longer service intervals thanks to increased media capacity. Regular fluid and filter service still applies per your vehicle’s maintenance schedule or towing severity.

• Installs into PPE heavy-duty transmission pan; follow pan installation guidelines
• Larger media means greater contaminant holding before replacement is needed
• Steel adapter reduces the chance of cross-threading or damage during service
• Compatible with standard service tools and procedures for 68RFE filters

This filter is ideal for truck owners who tow, haul, or demand longer-lasting transmission cleanliness. It’s not a standalone pan replacement — pairing with the PPE heavy duty pan 2280521XX is required for proper fit and performance. If you want a stronger adapter, more filtration area, and added magnetic debris capture over the OEM unit, the PPE 228052150 is designed to meet those needs.
