Doc's Diesel Engine Air Filter for Ford 6.7L Powerstroke DPA11885 — High-Capacity, Silicone Gasket

Doc's Diesel DPA11885 is a high-capacity replacement engine air filter engineered for Ford 6.7L Powerstroke F250–F550 trucks (2020–2025) to trap dust and protect the turbocharged diesel intake.

This heavy-duty replacement filter fits 6.7L Powerstroke applications and stands in for Motorcraft FA2031 and several equivalent OEM and aftermarket part numbers. Built with deep-pleated filter media and a substantial silicone gasket, it’s made to resist dust intrusion and maintain a secure seal even when driving in demanding, dirty conditions. Third-party test results show strong dust-holding ability, and the element is intended as part of a routine maintenance schedule to help preserve engine performance and longevity.

How does this filter protect my Powerstroke during heavy use?

The DPA11885 uses densely pleated filter paper to increase surface area for capturing particulate while the thick silicone gasket keeps the housing sealed against contaminants. Together they reduce the amount of abrasive dust and debris entering the intake tract that can accelerate wear.

• Deep pleats for increased dirt-holding capacity
• Heavy silicone gasket for a reliable seal under vibration
• Designed to fit OEM housing dimensions for proper airflow
• Third-party tested dust-holding metric: 344.2 g

Will this filter fit my Ford F250, F350, F450, or F550?

Yes — the DPA11885 is manufactured to be compatible with Ford trucks equipped with the 6.7L Powerstroke diesel from model years 2020 through 2025. It replaces common OEM and aftermarket numbers so installation is straightforward.

How often should I replace the Doc's Diesel DPA11885?
