Performance Air Filter for Chevrolet Avalanche/Silverado/Suburban/Tahoe

Stop choking your Vortec V8 with disposable paper filters and upgrade to the same filtration technology used in Formula 1 for superior protection and airflow.

Performance Replacement Air Filter for Chevrolet Silverado, Tahoe & Suburban (Vortec V6 / V8)

If you drive a GMT800 or GMT900 platform Chevrolet truck, you know these rigs are built to last. Whether you have the reliable 5.3L, the towing-beast 6.0L, or the legendary 8.1L Big Block, your engine is a massive air pump. The factory paper filter, while functional, is a compromise designed for low cost and aggressive sound dampening. It restricts airflow and creates a bottleneck right at the intake, forcing your engine to work harder to pull in the oxygen it needs for efficient combustion. Plus, once it's dirty, it goes in the trash.

This BMC replacement filter changes the game. Unlike standard paper elements, this filter uses a multi-layered cotton gauze soaked in low-viscosity oil, sandwiched between an epoxy-coated alloy mesh. This construction allows for significantly higher airflow while actually improving filtration. While OEM filters stop particles down to 10 microns, this BMC filter captures impurities as small as 7 microns. You get the best of both worlds: less restriction for better throttle response and superior protection against the dust and grit that kills piston rings.

Durability is key for a work truck. BMC uses a "Full Moulding" production system, meaning the characteristic red filter frame is created from a single mold with no welded joints. This eliminates the weak points found in cheaper filters that can crack or warp under engine bay heat. This is a "buy it once" upgrade. When it gets dirty, you simply wash it, re-oil it, and drop it back in. It’s the last air filter your Chevy will ever need.

Why You Need This Upgrade

• Superior Filtration: Captures particles as small as 7 microns (compared to OEM's 10 microns) to protect your engine from fine dust.
• High-Flow Architecture: Low-viscosity oil-soaked cotton gauze reduces air resistance, helping your engine breathe easier for improved efficiency.
• Indestructible Build: "Full Moulding" technology creates a single-piece rubber chassis without glued joints, preventing breakage and ensuring a perfect seal.
• Chemical Resistance: The alloy mesh is epoxy coated to resist oxidation from humidity and corrosion from fuel vapors.
• Lifetime Maintenance: Washable and reusable design means you stop wasting money on disposable filters every few oil changes.

Installation Notes

This is a direct "drop-in" replacement. No modification to your air box is required. Simply unclip your factory air box lid, remove the old paper filter, and install the BMC unit. Ensure the rubber seal is seated correctly around the perimeter. Maintenance Tip: This filter comes pre-oiled and ready to install. Do not re-oil it before the first use. Clean and regenerate only when necessary using a specific BMC cleaning kit.
